ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a method and system for rapidly identifying physical locations of manufacturing defects on the surface of a semiconductor die. The method and system first retrieve information about an electrical failure from an IC's electrical test result and then identify a set of electrical elements from the IC's layout design including a start resource and an end resource. Next, the method and system identify a physical signal path between the start resource and the end resource using the IC's layout design. Finally, the method and system examine a corresponding region on the semiconductor die that covers the physical signal path for manufacturing defects that may be responsible for the electrical failure.
