Abstract
The results of a world-wide study on yield improvement are
presented. Die yields collected from 21 fabs are transformed via a logit
formula and compared. The die yields and die yield improvement rates of
the fabs are compared, and manufacturing yield improvement practices are
evaluated. Preliminary results of this continuing study indicate that
die yield improvement is a function of computer-aided manufacturing
practices and statistical process control practices in addition to
commonly cited practices such as particle control and advanced
manufacturing technology
