Patents by Inventor Jun Nakazato

Jun Nakazato has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Inspection data analyzing system
    Publication number: 20010001015
    Abstract: The present invention provides data analysis stations respectively for a probing tester and an automatic particle inspection machine. And, in the data analysis station, the coordinates on which the disposition of the chips are described on a product basis are equal to those on which the locations of the defects are described. Further, the station provides a function of determining which of the chips each defect belongs to. These data analysis stations are connected through a communication line. The present invention is capable of analyzing the data on a chip basis, resulting in being able to grasp the relation between how the defects are caused on each chip and the product character of the chip.

  • Semiconductor failure analysis system
    Publication number: 20010000460
    Abstract: A semiconductor failure analysis system which includes a failure information collection unit for collecting, by bit, failure information concerned with a failure of a semiconductor, an inspection unit for examining relations between various types of inspection data obtained by inspection of the semiconductor and for examining relations between said inspection data and the failure information, a storage unit for storing information concerned with design of said semiconductor, an analysis unit for analyzing the failure information on the basis of output information output from the failure information collection unit, output information output from the inspection unit and design information stored in the storage unit, a display unit for displaying at least one of the result of analysis output from the analysis unit and the failure information, a failure cause estimation unit for estimating a cause of said failure information, and an unit for feeding the estimated cause of said failure information back to a proce
