Session 19: Yield Enhancement
Location: Meeting Room J1-J2 (San Jose McEnery Convention Center)
(Please check final room assignments on-site).
Session Description: This session examines failure analysis as it relates to yield enhancement issues during wafer fabrication. Topics of examination include defect classification and correlation to test, yield improvement or assessment methodologies, process/control improvements for yield related issues, the use of test concepts to catch yield related problems, and case studies illustrating yield analysis and corrective actions.
