Manufacturing quality evaluation is a critical discipline that focuses on assessing a process’s ability to produce outputs within pre‐defined tolerance limits. Recent advances combine traditional ...

How do you calculate your Process Sigma? Determining the lowest acceptable defect rate in your production is a way to ...

The Statistical Process Control Calculator (SPCC) aids in the prediction and analysis of process yield. The calculator can be used with an HP® 50g calculator or a free PC emulator. Steve Edwards, an ...

Process excursion, or any deviation in a certain process, significantly impacts the cost of semiconductor manufacturing process and product yield. During production, process excursion can be detected ...

In part driven by a younger generation’s gastronomic curiosity, flavor manufacturers are continuing to develop innovative products to meet demand in order to distinguish themselves. Flavor houses also ...

Designing for yield is an afterthought in today's design flows, whether it is digital, analog/RF or mixed-signal. The lack of design for yield tools has forced the digital world to accept overly ...

Effective fabrication of complex, high performance semiconductor devices is highly dependent on the use of chemical mechanical planarization (CMP). This process is used to planarize the wafer surface ...
