Parametric Sensitivity Analysis
In a Silicon-Fab environment, the Parametric Sensitivity Analysis (PSA) algorithm is utilized to determine key performance indicators affecting wafer yield. This method helps identify important predictors amidst noise and outliers in the data, providing a ranked list based on R2 values and P-values. By utilizing JMP scripting, the process is automated, enabling efficient analysis of electrical and functional measurements collected for silicon wafers. The methodology involves grouping data, calculating means/medians, and evaluating correlations to enhance the understanding of yield modulators. Explore the visualization of results to enhance decision-making and improve yield outcomes.

Parametric Sensitivity Analysis Identify in a big mass of data the significant predictors of the Probe wafer yield by using JMP scripting
Parametric Sensitivity Analysis Gianpaolo Polsinelli, Felice Russo LFoundry s.r.l Italy a Smic Company Abstract Objective In a Silicon-Fab several electrical and functional measurements are collected for each single silicon wafer. So it is very important to identify in a big mass of data which variables are really modulating the wafer yield the most important key performance indicator. Usually a scatter plot with a linear regression fit is used for that. Anyway this technique works well only if distributions are normal, in absence of outliers and data noisy. All those factors can obscure the true s relationship between yield loss and in line issues. To determine how different values of a predictor variable impact the wafer yield. Identify the right candidates by using Parametric Sensitivity Analysis (PSA) algorithm. JMP Script to automate the entire process.

Besides R2 value the P-Val is evaluated too. A table with predictors ranked by a decreasing R2 value is generated. Scatter plot for Yield vs. Predictor1 The PSA technique is used when data are very noisy and contain confounding effects. The response distribution is divided in N different balanced groups and a label is assigned to all database rows. For each group the predictors mean and/or median is calculated.
