Semiconductor foundry yield management software
Many customers’ products run on your equipment. YieldWatchDog keeps PCM/WAT, defect, metrology, equipment and MES data in one database, monitors every imported lot and creates reports for your customers automatically.
What matters
Wafer-level process control
All fab data in one database
PCM/WAT, metrology, equipment and MES data share one data model with defect and inspection data from any vendor’s equipment — so a yield problem can be traced to the process step and tool behind it.
Equipment and process monitoring
Statistical Process Control checks every imported lot or wafer against the Shewhart, Nelson and Western Electric rules and DR YIELD’s own rules. The Equipment Monitoring Module detects tool drift and differences between similar tools, and the Tool Combination Module finds problematic combinations of tools across process stages.
Reports for your customers
The Reporting Server creates HTML and PDF reports automatically — per imported lot, on a schedule or when an SPC rule is violated — for engineering, management or your customers.
Why YieldWatchDog
From excursion to root cause
In a foundry, many products share the same tools, so an excursion has to be traced quickly to the process step, tool or chamber behind it. YieldWatchDog links defect, equipment and PCM/WAT data in one environment, and the Multivariate Monitoring Module watches correlated parameters together — catching problems that stay inside every single parameter’s control limits.
Typical edition
The edition that usually fits
YieldWatchDog Industrial
Industrial is the typical edition for foundries: 16 CPU cores, unlimited concurrent clients and 120 annual support hours, for many users and high customization requirements.
Editions are sized by scale, not by company type. We’ll help you choose.
