Abstract: A method for reducing the scrap rate of fuse structures after laser repairing is provided. The method includes providing a semiconductor wafer comprising integrated circuits, performing a yield test on the semiconductor wafer to determine defective circuits, predetermining a wavelength limit, and keeping the semiconductor wafer away from lights having wavelengths lower than the wavelength limit. The defects on the semiconductors wafer are repaired by burning laser fuses. For copper-based fuse structures, the wavelength limit is about 550 nm.

Abstract: A quality assurance system and method for use between a service provider having a sequence of process stages and a quality assurance stage, and a control center. The service provider performs a plurality of processes on goods at the process stages, transfers engineering data corresponding to the processes to the control center via Internet, and holds the goods at the quality assurance. The control center compares the engineering data with a standard specification, and transfers a confirmation message to the service provider if the engineering data conforms to the standard specification. The service provider may ship the goods to customers after the confirmation message is received.
