Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: providing a user interface to illustrate a fault for a sample manufactured by a process containing multiple variables, each of the multiple variables comprises at least two components; presenting in the user interface the multiple variables, one group of components of the multiple variables in a first axis and a second group of components of the multiple variables in a second axis, wherein areas on the user interface where different ones of the one group of components of the multiple variables on the first axis intersect with the different ones of the second group of components of the multiple variables on the second axis are cells; illustrating, graphically in the user interface, contributions to the fault that are associated with the multiple variables by associating contributions of components in the one group of components of the multiple variables to corresponding components in the second group of components of the multiple variables; and providing visual indications of fault contributions of components for corresponding cells.
