  • Patent number: 8380472
    Abstract: A system and method for yield management are disclosed wherein a data set containing one or more prediction variable values and one or more response variable values is input into the system. The system can process the input data set to remove prediction variables with missing values and data sets with missing values based on a tiered splitting method to maximize usage of all valid data points. The processed data can then be used to generate a model that may be a decision tree. The system can accept user input to modify the generated model. Once the model is complete, one or more statistical analysis tools can be used to analyze the data and generate a list of the key yield factors for the particular data set.

    Abstract: Integrated yield/equipment data processing system for collecting and analyzing integrated tool-related data (cause data) and material-related data (effect data) pertaining to at least one material processing tool and at least one material is disclosed. In an embodiment, the tool-related data is correlated with the material-related data, and the correlated tool-related data and material-related data is employed by logic to perform at least one of root-cause analysis, prediction model building and tool control/optimization. By integrating cause-and-effect data in a single platform, the data necessary for performing, for example, automated problem detection (e.g., automated root cause analysis) and prediction, is readily available and correlated, which for example shortens the cycle time to detection and facilitates efficient and timely automated tool management and control.

  • Patent number: 8190952
    Abstract: A system and method for defect analysis are disclosed wherein a defect data set is input into the system. A radius value is selected by a user, which is the maximum number of bits that bit failures can be separated from one another to be considered a bit cluster. When a defect data set is received, the system and method start with a fail bit and search for neighboring fail bits. The specified radius is used to qualify the found fail bits to be part of the bit cluster or not. If a minimum count of fail bits is not met, the system and method will stop searching and move to the next fail bit. If a minimum count of fail bits is met, the search continues for the next fail bit until the maximum fail bit count specified by the user is reached. Aggregation is provided such that once bit clusters have been classified, the number of clusters that have the exact match or partial match to each other is counted. The user may set the partial match as a threshold count to establish a match.

  • Patent number: 7954018
    Abstract: A system and method for defect analysis of multi-level memory cell devices and embedded multi-level memory in system-on-chip integrated circuits are disclosed wherein a defect data set is input into the system. When a defect data set is received, an automated test engineering system running a memory test program analyzes the defect data set to generate one or more fail bit locations and one or more fail states of the memory. The multi-level memory defect analysis system and method then classify failed bits or patterns comprising a vertical fail pattern, whereby after being classified, each memory cell failure vertical fail pattern has three data attributes comprising fail type, a number of fail bits/states, and a sequence of the fail states. The vertical fail pattern may comprise a single fail state or multi-state fail. The multi-state fail may be a continuous-states fail, discontinuous-states fail, or all-state fail.

  • Patent number: 7720083
    Abstract: Intelligent routing may be provided. First, a second peer via home relay may receive presence information indicating that a first peer is connected to a first foreign relay. Then the second peer may update, in response to the presence information, a routing table to indicate that a primary place to send data to the first peer is the first foreign relay. Next, the second peer may determine from the routing table that the primary place to send the data to the first peer is the first foreign relay. Next, the home relay may receive a request from a second peer to send data to the first peer via the first foreign relay. Then, in response to determining from the routing table that the primary place to send the data to the first peer is the first foreign relay, the data may be sent to the first foreign relay.
