Abstract :
The paper presents loop closure methodology to disclose the variation window of fab for a technology to robust design for manufacturability. With automatically screened fab raw data, the clean data is collected for many months allowing good prediction of future results for overall fab capability and also used for monitoring fab performance versus design libraries and technology specs to ensure that design libraries match the actual production capability. Multiple formats of viewing data accelerate debug of problems and also useful for fab yield enhancement, product debug, and model casing alignments etc.
