yieldHUB Expands Its Impact with New Technology and a New Website

yieldHUB is a unique company that focuses on yield optimization for the semiconductor industry. The company aims to bring engineering teams together with a platform that allows sharing of data analytics and knowledge about products to improve yield. This goal is certainly fueled by unifying data from multiple steps in the manufacturing process. But the problem is bigger than that. Changes that occur in real-time during the manufacturing process can have significant impact on performance and yield. Consolidated data measurements will miss this kind of problem.

yieldHUB has responded to this imperative with new, real-time intelligence and a new website that presents broader information in a unified, easy to use manner. Let’s examine what you will find at the new site and take a closer look at the new real-time capabilities as we explore how yieldHUB expands its impact with new technology and a new website.

New Look, Expanded Information

The new website reflects how the yieldHUB platform has evolved over the years. You will find a much broader structure covering semiconductor manufacturing across the product lifecycle, industries and device architectures. A portion of the new homepage is shown in the graphic above. The core of the platform section contains two key components:

yieldHUB – the traditional platform for semiconductor yield management, unifying wafer probe and final test data to support yield analysis, engineering insight and production monitoring. (Explore the platform in the graphic above.)

yieldHUB Live – is the new real-time manufacturing intelligence capability designed to provide visibility and control on the test floor. (See real-time monitoring in the graphic above.) This new capability allows engineering and operations teams to monitor yield, bins and parameters as production is happening, helping detect anomalies earlier and respond faster. More on this in a moment.

The website has also expanded significantly. The breadth and depth of the site are substantially increased with a well-designed and easy-to-use architecture and visual presentation. The new site includes:

• Solutions organized across the semiconductor product lifecycle (e.g., NPI, yield ramp, high-volume production and smart manufacturing)
• Content structured by engineering objectives such as yield improvement, engineering efficiency, test cost reduction and quality/reliability
• Expanded coverage of industries and device architectures, including AI/HPC, power semiconductors (e.g., silicon carbide and gallium nitride), photonics, RF, MEMS and of course advanced packaging fueled by multi-die design
• Sections tailored to different roles across semiconductor organizations including engineering, operations, quality, finance and IT
• Coverage of the broader semiconductor ecosystem including IDMs, fabless companies, OSATs, foundries and equipment manufacturers

You will also find significantly expanded technical content, with more blogs and engineering resources focused on topics such as yield ramp, NPI analytics and semiconductor data science. No matter what your industry or job is, if efficient semiconductors are important to you there is a place to learn more at the new yieldHUB site.

yieldHUB Live

yieldHUB Live provides semiconductor test floor monitoring and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) optimization for high-volume manufacturing environments. It delivers real-time production visibility and control across testers and sites without hardware changes or test program modification, reducing retest, detecting yield and parametric drift, increasing utilization, and protecting cost per die.

yieldHUB Live supports complex global test operations across OSATs, IDMs, and fabless semiconductor companies. Some of its capabilities include:

• Monitor semiconductor test floors with continuous production visibility
• Improve tester utilization and OEE
• Reduce unnecessary retest
• Detect yield and parametric drift early
• Provide cross-site visibility for OSATs and IDMs
• As mentioned, no hardware changes or test program disruption – compatible with most testers

Other capabilities include extending manufacturing execution systems (MES) with real-time production control. Traditional systems track transactions, but they don’t enforce operational intelligence. yieldHUB Live adds a real-time semiconductor manufacturing analytics layer that transforms static reporting into continuous production control.

The system also provides accurate insight into real test floor activity enabling operators, technicians, and engineers to act immediately with dashboards that enable factory visualization. Examples include:

• Continuous tester status monitoring
• Live yield and bin tracking across lots, testers, and sites
• Parametric monitoring at wafer, bin, and die level
• Alerts and emerging trends
• Site-to-site health monitoring in high-parallel environments
• Site-to-site performance monitoring in high-parallel environments

In high-volume semiconductor environments, even a single figure percentage improvement in utilization can unlock millions of dollars in annual value. yieldHUB Live exposes production losses in real time and converts them into sustainable performance gains.

There is a lot to this new capability. I have just scratched the surface in this discussion. The good news is that you can easily learn more on the new site with enhanced visuals and summaries. You can even set up a discovery call to learn more

To Learn More

If items such as protecting margins, improving profitability, meeting SLAs, coordinating across your supply chain with data-driven conversations, and maximizing performance at scale are important to you, yieldHUB can help. And the company’s new website and new technology make it easier to achieve your goals.
