  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE AUTOMATIC DETERMINATION OF CRITICAL PARAMETRIC ELECTRICAL TEST PARAMETERS FOR INLINE YIELD MONITORING
    Publication number: 20140303912
    Abstract: Inline yield monitoring may include the use of one or more modules of algorithmic software. Inline yield monitoring may include the use of two related algorithmic software modules such as a learning and a prediction module. The learning module may learn critical PET (parametric electrical test) parameters from data of probe electrical test yields and PET attribute values. The critical PET parameters may best separate outliers and inliers in the yield data. The prediction module may use the critical PET parameters found by the learning module to predict whether a wafer is an inlier or an outlier in a probe test classification.
