Yield and Reliability

An important cost factor in manufacturing of electric and electronic devices is the number of working devices per process batch. Due to high complexity of production, there are a lot of influantial factors to this indicator. The number is also in mastered processes considerably below the maximum possible number and is called “yield”.

Working group Yield and Reliability (former working group Yield Management) was set up in 2011 and targets people that want to improve their production processes. Main emphasis is on exchange of methods (best practices) and information. Also initiation and implementation of joint projects, e.g. within material analysis, methods and tools, is possible.
