YieldAssist

  • Accurately identifies yield limiting defects and locates those defects in the physical layout
  • Performs direct diagnosis (no bypass patterns required) of scan test fails of TestKompress® or FastScan™ patterns
  • Links directly with Calibre® RVE, the results viewing environment, to view the defect suspects identified by YieldAssist in the physical layout
  • Enables processing of online volume fail data from manufacturing test
  • Included in TSMC Reference Flow 6.0 and UMC Reference Flow

Benefit Highlights

  • Part of comprehensive solution to monitor, maintain and improve device yields
  • Faster time to profit through improved yield learning and ramp up
  • Faster, more accurate defect isolation speeds root-cause failure analysis
  • Processing of volume failure information directly from manufacturing test identifies failure causes, speeds yield learning and eliminate weeks of manual failure analysis effort
