Statistics in Semiconductor Test: Going beyond Yield

The quantity and complexity of data generated at each test manufacturing step can be daunting. This article, which emerged from a tutorial presented at ITC 2008, explains the application of statistics to help process that data and provides examples of how test has shifted from descriptive to predictive methods.
