Semiconductor Yield Enhancement can be Optimized with Visual Analytics In the hyper-competitive world of semiconductor manufacturing, yield enhancement is an important step in maintaining profitability. Many technologies have been developed to address semiconductor yield enhancement and other manufacturing issues, but there is a significant gap between what available solutions can accomplish and the complexity of the problems to be solved. Traditional tools for design and simulation,
systematic yield and product characterization are robust and work well on the tasks for which they were designed. But they are too rigid and difficult to use for new analytic challenges. Query and report
business intelligence solutions are more simple to use, but can't adapt to changing demands without time-consuming assistance from IT. That's why leading manufacturers everywhere have turned to Spotfire for the visual analytic tools for semiconductor yield enhancement.
Major Semiconductor Manufacturers Rely on Spotfire® for Yield Enhancement With thousands of users around the world, Spotfire is a leading provider of visual analytics software for the semiconductor industry. Spotfire offers a highly visual and interactive analysis environment where engineers can visualize multivariate data from technical and corporate sources. Unlike less sophisticated tools, Spotfire allows users to ask and answer questions to address yield enhancement and any other production challenges on-the-fly to gain the insight that can make the manufacturing enterprise more competitive. Spotfire gives engineers tasked with semiconductor yield enhancement the flexibility to explore and understand production drivers that are often only revealed through analysis of combined in-line, lot history, functional, electrical, and bitmap data. With Spotfire, defect engineers can maximize the value of inspection data, images and spectra to prioritize and quickly resolve yield excursions and develop methodology to avoid them in the future.
Solutions for Semiconductor Yield Enhancement and More In addition to semiconductor yield enhancement, Spotfire enables manufacturers to:
- Explore multivariate process data for enhancement of overall equipment effectiveness
- Ramp yield faster and improve analysis methods for next generation semiconductor technologies
- Address new market opportunities by rapidly trading off device specifications vs. production capability
- Quickly source field failures and put in place repeatable analysis methods to avoid future excursions
