  • Abstract
    Product engineers are often called upon to use their unique mix of expertise and intuition to solve yield puzzles. Any tool that can help ease and automate the process is a welcome one. Industrial case studies demonstrate a new tool´s potential to provide automatically accurate, and potentially early, indications of underlying root cause for low-yielding wafers.
