The goal is to enhance semiconductor manufacturing yield and efficiency by employing yieldWerx's comprehensive yield management solution. This system offers an end-to-end data analysis platform and real-time alert generation, facilitating quick identification and resolution of potential problems.
Scenario:
Problem Identification:
A Semiconductor Manufacturing Engineer is faced with yield loss due to inefficient data capturing, tracking, and analysis processes. Data is represented in multiple formats such as STDF, ATDF, CSV, as well as proprietary formats which complicate data management and quick problem identification.
Decision to Implement yieldWerx:
In response to these challenges, the engineer decides to implement yieldWerx's yield management solution. The software integrates data from hundreds of formats into one accessible platform, enabling real-time problem alerts and providing insightful yield analysis.
Data Utilization:
yieldWerx offers a user-friendly interface for viewing data, alerts, and reports in real-time. Key metrics include device yield rates,
quality indicators, potential problem alerts, and more.Primary Course of Action and Results:
With yieldWerx, the engineer quickly responds to alerts, identifies root causes, and implements fixes based on the software's analysis. Full traceability of data allows for precise identification of process bottlenecks and areas for improvement. This results in minimized yield loss, improved operational efficiency, and increased device quality, with more time dedicated to problem-solving and process improvements.
Exception Course of Action:
In case the software struggles to capture data from certain formats, the engineer might need to convert the data or seek technical assistance from yieldWerx. If alerts do not lead to identifiable problems, further investigations may be required.
Benefits:
Streamlined Data Management:
yieldWerx frees up the engineer's time from cumbersome data management, allowing them to focus on problem-solving.
Real-Time Alerts:
The system provides real-time alerts, enabling faster problem identification and resolution.
Operational Efficiency & Quality Improvement:
Through comprehensive yield analysis and real-time alerts, yieldWerx significantly improves operational efficiency and device
quality while minimizing yield loss.
