Abstract
An EWS for data analysis automatically performs automatic fatal failure extract processing on the basis of FBM information accumulated in a computer for a tester. In the automatic fatal failure extract processing, X-line repair judgment processing and Y-line repair judgment processing are continuously performed so that the X-line repair processing is performed in consideration of failures in a Y-line direction, and the Y-line repair judgment processing is performed in consideration of failures in an X-line direction. Further, the failures in the Y-line and X-line directions are taken into consideration from maximum ability decided by Y-line substitutability and X-line substitutability to zero. Thus provided is a failure analysis system capable of automatically investigating the cause for fatal failures.
