Advanced Technology for Device Characterization Competition in the semiconductor industry is fierce, and winning is the result of many things—cutting-edge design, advanced process technology, marketing effectiveness and manufacturing excellence. In streamlining and refining manufacturing processes, semiconductor companies must meet ever stricter specifications for chip performance. Consequently, device characterization technology is extremely important. To improve device characterization processes, semiconductor manufacturers have turned to a number of technological tools in recent years, and of these, visual analytics provides superior insight and testing ability for a growing number of manufacturers. At semiconductor manufacturers around the world, Spotfire visual analytics software is the leading choice for engineers improving device characterization processes.
Spotfire Provide Visual Analytics for Device Characterization Spotfire's visual analytics provide support for a wide range of analytical tasks within the semiconductor industry, including device characterization. With Spotfire, manufacturers can "see" information integrated from widely diverse data streams in a series of linked visual plots. Exploring data visually lets engineers understand their data faster, identifying significant patterns and discovering hidden relationships within their information.
As a result of faster access to insight, engineers can more quickly respond to problems in processes and design as well as change and pressure within the market. Spotfire gives product engineers the tools they require to analyze the impact of manufacturing variability on product performance and cost, and to tighten parameters in device characterization tests. And Spotfire allows engineers to create and manage product specifications that ensure the right products make it to the marketplace, while maintaining the ability to perform what-if analysis for highgrading and segmenting product offerings to take advantage of market opportunities.
Other Benefits of Spotfire's Visual Analytics In addition to device characterization, Spotfire can:
- Assist process engineers in exploring multivariate process data and improve overall effectiveness for banks of equipment
- Give product engineers the power to respond to market opportunities by quickly analyzing device specifications vs. production capability
- Help quality engineers with product characterization, as well as the ability to quickly identify field failures and establish repeatable analysis procedures to prevent future excursions
- Allow yield and defect engineers to ramp yield faster and improve analytic methods for next generation technologies
