Klarity

Automated Defect and Yield Data Analysis

KlarityDefect automated defect analysis and data management system helps fabs achieve faster yield learning cycles through real-time excursion identification. KlaritySSA (Spatial Signature Analysis) analysis module for Klarity Defect provides automatic detection and classification of defect signatures that indicate process issues. KlarityACE XP advanced yield analysis system helps fabs capture retain and share yield learning within and across fabs for yield acceleration. Klarity systems utilize an intuitive decision flow analysis allowing engineers to easily create customized analyses that support applications such as lot dispositioning review sampling defect source analysis SPC setup and management and excursion notifications. Klarity Defect Klarity SSA and Klarity ACE XP form a fab-wide yield solution that automatically reduces defect inspection classification and review data to relevant root-cause and yield-analysis information. Klarity data helps IC packaging compound semi and HDD manufacturers take corrective action sooner resulting in accelerated yield and better time to market.
