Abstract:
A yield prediction apparatus is provided. The yield prediction apparatus may include at least one processor coupled to at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium. The at least one processor may be configured to receive a first variable associated with operating characteristics of a semiconductor device, perform a simulation for the operating characteristics of the semiconductor device, perform a neural network regression analysis using a result of the simulation to determine a first function for the first variable, and predict a yield of the semiconductor integrated circuit based on an advanced Monte Carlo simulation. An input of the advanced Monte Carlo simulation may include the determined first function.
