Abstract

Dynamic yield prediction. In accordance with a first method embodiment of the present invention, a computer-implemented method includes collecting sample test information from a plurality of test-only structures prior to completion of the first wafer, gathering finished test data from all die of the first wafer, after completion of the first wafer, constructing a yield prediction model based on the sample test information and on the finished test data, and predicting, using the model, a percentage of die of the first wafer that will meet a particular specification. The method may further include a feedback loop to dynamically update the model.
