Course Description
The Failure Yield Analysis course is an 8-hour webinar held over two days, for 4 hours each day. This course offers an introduction to a variety of effective tools, as well as the overall process flow for locating and characterizing the defect responsible for the failure. Analysts are required to understand a variety of disciplines in order to effectively perform failure analysis. This requires knowledge of subjects like design, testing, technology, processing materials science, chemistry, and even optics. Failed devices and low yields can lead to customer returns and idle manufacturing lines, costing a company millions of dollars a day. This course is designed for every manager, engineer, and technician working in the semiconductor field, using semiconductor components and supplying tools to the industry.
Course Objectives
- This seminar will provide participants with an overview of the tools, techniques, and processes used in failure and yield analysis.
- Participants will be able to determine how to proceed with a submitted request for analysis, ensuring that the analysis is done with the greatest probability of success.
