Abstract

See full text

A method of calculating yield limits for a factory to process semiconductor wafers, including the steps of generating a wafer map from the semiconductor wafers, eliminating die on said wafer map from consideration that have multiple defects, calculating killer probability for each of said die having only one defect, and predicting yield limits from said killer probabilities.
