Patent ID: 7885782

Claim:
A manufacturing process for an integrated circuit device having data from integrated circuit devices used in the process comprising: storing the data from the manufacturing process for the integrated circuit device and a substantially unique identification code for each integrated circuit device of the integrated circuit devices on each integrated circuit device of the integrated circuit devicesat probe testing of the integrated circuit devices and thereafter, the data indicating a first process flow or an another process flow within the manufacturing process for each integrated circuit device of the integrated circuit devices; storing the substantially unique identification code of each integrated circuit device of the integrated circuit devices and a die location on an electronically stored wafer map for each integrated circuit device; reading the substantially unique identification code stored on each integrated circuit device of the integrated circuit devices for evaluating each integrated circuit device of the integrated circuit devices with respect to the stored data from the manufacturing process for each integrated circuit device for identifying integrated circuit devices having the first process flow within the manufacturing process and indentifying integrated circuit devices having the another process flow different from the first process flow; and redirecting each integrated circuit device identified as having the another process flow within the manufacturing process different from the first process flow of the integrated circuit devices in the first process flow to prevent the integrated circuit device from continuing within the first process flow after reading the substantially unique identification code of the integrated circuit device.
