Enterprise Module

yieldWerx Enterprise comprises a functionally feature-rich suite of modules that supports semiconductor manufacturing engineers and analysts in their daily activities. Core yieldWerx offers the fundamental modules upon which we provide solutions and capabilities that meet customer needs. Other modules can be selected based on the customer’s environment and needs. All modules seamlessly link and integrate with each other. Their common User Experience facilitates customers adding new modules. The web-enabled interface allows functionality to be platform independent as well as accessible from any smart device. Customers can analyze and make decisions on the spot without being tethered to their workstation

Core yieldWerx 2.0

Setting up and maintaining a company’s semiconductor manufacturing data system provides data upon which an engineering team performs data analysis.  Go wrong here and you waste an engineer’s time. Developing a core set of yield analysis reports and basic analysis capabilities sets the stage for engineers and analysts to succeed. Assessing factory capacity based upon yield trends enables planners to plan for the next quarter. A yield and test management system alerts your engineering team regarding possible manufacturing issues—yield excursions, cluster defects, probe card issues, etc; and it provides engineers the analysis tools to investigate these types of issues further.

Test manufacturing floors represent a complex system as there are multiple products, multiple testers and other assembly and test equipment on the floor that all generate data. Couple this with data being ingested in from other 3rd party contractors such as those that bump wafers. Given the volume and mix of data from products on the shop floor this necessitates the automation of data management. Operators move wafer boats and bundles of package units around and load them into test cells. Errors can occur in with the manual keying of identity such as lot ID, product ID, test program. Such errors will impact the most basic of yield reports. Data from a test cell will be processed and uploaded to the manufacturing execution system (MES); network hiccups can occur in the transfer of data. These scenarios illustrate just two types of events that lead to data integrity issues; and all possible data integrity issues need to be considered when automating the data management. Core yieldWerx’s set of modules possesses the capabilities to support the management of the raw test data so that subsequent analysis is done only on data that can be trusted by engineers.

Our core package also provides engineering teams and analysts the fundamental reporting analysis modules that support their roles comprehending and improving product yields, test costs, factory automation and test floor operations. Transforming data into standard data formats for an engineer’s favorite tools (e.g. SAS) provides complete flexibility for subsequent data processing. The package integrates with standard test data formats (e.g. STDF), manufacturing execution systems (MES) and business IT systems (e.g. SAP).
