Abstract:
A method of generating a semiconductor manufacturing yield report, comprising:downloading raw data from at least one workstream database into a spreadsheet software application in a computer system, wherein the downloading raw data from at least one workstream database comprises downloading the raw data from a workstream server; executing a software macro in the computer system, comprising: formatting the raw data using the software macro; sorting the formatted data according to type using the software macro; sorting the formatted data according to category using the software macro; deleting data not required for generating the yield report; sorting the remaining data according to package type using the software macro; creating at least one worksheet in the spreadsheet software application according to package type using the software macro; calculating final yield data by package type using the software macro; and calculating percentage of opens and shorts data by package type using the software macro; and generating the yield report comprising the calculated final yield and percentage of opens and shorts data.
