◘ Client Wafer Fabrication Tool Manufacturer
◘ Industry Semiconductor/Manufacturing (Commercial)
◘ Goal Improve product yield for newly Released To Manufacturing (RTMed) products
◘ Challenges The customer released a new product to manufacturing which had a significantly low yield rate of 40%
◘ Solution Developed processes to improve post production yield rates
◘ Key Benefits
◘ Improved manufactured product yield to 95%
◘ Root cause identification and mitigation of key contributor to reduced yield numbers
◘ Worked with parts vendor/supplier to understand their manufacturing processes. Created improved manufacturing procedures which lead to the delivery of better materials
◘ Developed incoming material screening process to identify discrepant material earlier in the manufacturing process. These efforts led to a reduction in rework costs
