Design-for-manufacturing (DFM) methodologies have taken center stage in the drive to improve yields in nanometer designs. Various techniques targeted at both the initial design and the manufacturing ...

Test facilities are beginning to implement real-time maintenance, rather than scheduled maintenance, to reduce manufacturing costs and boost product yield. Adaptive cleaning of probe needles and test ...

JA Solar and TÜV Rheinland have reported the results of a one-year energy yield test at the national outdoor yield test base for PV products in Qionghai, Hainan, China. The test aimed to study and ...

Diagnosis-driven yield analysis identifies the cause of systematic yield loss to speed yield ramp on new processes and improves yield on mature processes. Finding the root cause of yield loss is ...
