Abstract:
A failure analysis tool, a method of using the tool and a design structure for designing a mask for protecting a critical area of wiring failure in a semiconductor chip during packaging is provided. The failure analysis tool includes a computer infrastructure operable to determine a risk area for wiring layer failure during solder bump formation by determining a distance from a center of a chip to a location for a solder bump processing and identifying an area at an edge of the location for the solder bump processes at a predetermined distance and greater from the center of the chip.
