Problems we solve for Consumer Electronics
Huge volumes of data
It is common to have >1TB of STDF data needing monitoring and analysis. Scalability with clever yieldHUB database design is key.
Hard to see anomalies in time
With such high volumes, a system like yieldHUB is a great help with parametric, bin and yield alerts available.
Test time
yieldHUB treats test time like a test. This means you will be able to analyse it comprehensively to reduce it over time and save cost.
Hidden failure patterns
The ability to quickly stack hundreds of wafers and see the yield at each x/y reveals patterns helping your foundry improve your yield.
Yield consistency
Before you go into volume production, yieldHUB’s powerful gage R&R tool will help you ensure consistently high yields across all setups.
Site issues
With multi-site testing very common for high volume chips, yieldHUB has all the site based analysis you need to optimise yield across sites.
Dealing with huge volumes of data
The advantage of traditional desk-top tools was that they were fast. That is, once you had the data downloaded to your desktop. They allowed analysis of a few hundred tests and provided standard reports which were useful to send to colleagues and customers. The main problem was scalability.
Yield Consistency via Gage R&R
Gage R&R has been used for many years in the semiconductor industry to measure variation during test for repeatability and reproducibility. These measurements are then used to assess the suitability of the test for production.
Case Study
Ambiq Micro is leading the world in energy-efficient micro-controller (MCU) design.
Ambiq Micro is redefining "ultra-low power" with its unique and proprietary SPOT platform. They began working with us a few years ago when their data started scaling (they now produce thousands of wafers a month!).
How automated alerts can help you
While automating reports which are delivered regularly are very good for monitoring when something does go wrong, e.g. a low yield, or a parametric shift, it is important to know as soon as possible. This is where alerts are key.
Frequently Asked Questions
What data formats do you support?
STDF is the most common, but we support spreadsheet, CSV, binary and other formats.
Do you support test data from modules and systems?
Yes, we have several customers who have data from modules and systems and you can analyse this data in yieldHUB.
Is yieldHUB only available in the cloud?
We offer both options. Smaller companies generally use yieldHUB in the cloud. Larger companies use our on-premise solution.
Is it possible to compare the performance of the subcons?
Yes, you can group all the parametric and bin data by subcon and see the differences. This will allow you to have consistent yields across all your subcons or help a subcon succeed if they are having problems. You can even provide your subcons with yieldHUB licenses, but they will only be able to see what they test themselves for you.
