The Holy Grail of the #semiconductor industry: Zero Defect Manufacturing With 34,000 people in 30 countries, NXP Semiconductors has the motivation and the people to pursue this end. Dr. Pradeep Sharma shares several examples of how they are pursuing zero defect manufacturing. One such example is addressing sub-ppm (parts per million) failures in the epoxy mold compound encapsulation process. With no existing effective way to predict and prevent, Dr. Sharma turned (in part) to JMP Pro. Ultimately, they achieved zero defect status on this process and are saving over $250,000 annually. The key to achieving this were: 🗝 Real-time analysis of up-to-date information 🗝 Precise and accurate predictions of quality outcomes before and during mass production 🗝 Balancing model complexity and model interpretability 🏆 Zero defect manufacturing = Innovation + total quality + data analytics Worth the 4 minutes: https://lnkd.in/gySjS66t #zerodefectmanufacturing

Semiconductor manufacturing presents complicated challenges, demanding flawless execution across hundreds of steps for optimal yield. Even the slightest deviation can significantly impact product quality and reliability. Chipmetrics addresses this challenge head-on with innovative test wafer solutions! Our innovative pocket wafer solution addresses a critical gap in the industry: Compatibility with 300mm Wafers: Previously limited to smaller wafer sizes, Chipmetrics bridges the gap by bonding test chips onto standard 300mm wafers. Multi-Functionality: A single pocket wafer can house various test chip variants, streamlining a wide range of process analyses. 🚀Benefits for Semiconductor Manufacturers: Enhanced Productivity: Faster tool qualification and monitoring lead to smoother production flows. Improved Quality Benchmarks: Early detection of process deviations minimizes defects and ensures product quality. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dgXVNC52

📝 Every year, the SEMI 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗧𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲 meets in the North America region as part of SEMICON WEST. Bert Müller, our colleague, took part in this meeting as he does every year and has brought along a short review. So here's some fresh #SEMI 𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦 from the meeting for you today: 💡   𝗗𝗗𝗔 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲: 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗔 (𝗘𝗗𝗔) 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱.   🔹 The task force is currently working hard to finalize the last points of the new Freeze III. 3 of the 5 ballots (these are the elaborated standards) discussed were confirmed by the task force at this meeting. These will now be submitted to the SEMI Committee for a decision on publication. 🔹 The task force identified shortcomings in the details of two other ballots, which will now be revised in the next cycle. 🔹 The main focus of the task force is currently on preparing for the third pre-test of the new EDA Freeze III, which is due to take place in November.   𝗔𝗕𝗜𝗙 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲:   🔹 There are numerous communication standards that are based on E30 (GEM) technology. These include the unofficial designation GEM 300, which includes the standards E5, E30, E37, E39, E40, E87, E90 and E94. It also includes other standards such as E84, E142, E116 and E157, which are useful for many devices, as well as special device model standards such as E122, E123 and some others. Without guidance and extensive expertise, it can be difficult to know which standards should be implemented as part of a facility's interfaces.   🔹 In wafer fabrication, the GEM 300 standard set has been used very successfully for many years to facilitate factory automation. Other fabs that are not part of semiconductor front-end manufacturing strive for the same benefits, but it is not always clear which standards should be used due to the differences in manufacturing. This task force aims to help address the specifics of this manufacturing in the SEMI standards and provide guidance on the application of the SEMI standards.   𝗚𝗘𝗠𝟯𝟬𝟬 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲:   🔹 This task force is responsible for the E5, E30, E37, E39, E40, E87, E90 and E94 standards. Here, there are always details that need to be adjusted too.   💡 Would you like to 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗘𝗠𝗜 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁?
