Inova implements DR YIELD’s YieldWatchDog
DR YIELD software & solutions GmbH of Graz, Austria, which provides the smart data analytics solution YieldWatchDog, has been selected by Inova Semiconductors GmbH of Munich, Germany to enable actionable insights into their chip test data. YieldWatchDog is said to transform production data collected during chip manufacturing and testing into valuable information, allowing yield improvements and cost optimization.
Founded in 1999, Inova is a fabless semiconductor company specializing in the development of products for automotive Gigabit/s serial data communication and interior lighting. Besides its APIX (Automotive Pixel Link) products (sold in high volume – with more than 150 million devices on the road – and now in their third generation), Inova developed ISELED (Intelligent Smart Embedded LED) technology in 2016, while offering its first products. With a strong focus on the automotive industry, the firm is committed to the highest manufacturing and product quality. To achieve this, continuous improvement and thus the use of the latest analysis tools and technologies in the semiconductor field is required, says DR YIELD.
“With the YieldWatchDog software, Inova now has a tool that is capable of parallel production data processing, enabling the rapid load and analysis of large amounts of information,” says Dr Malte Leisner, head of Quality & Foundry Management at Inova. “A variety of integrated functions allow different methods for inspecting production data. Easy-to-use automated rules for applying quality screening techniques further improve device filtering. This ensures a continuous delivery of products with the highest quality,” he adds.
“It is an honor for us at DR YIELD to work with Inova Semiconductors, as we are both innovation leaders in rapidly growing markets, and we are looking forward to exciting developments in the future,” comments Dieter Rathei, CEO at DR YIELD software & solutions GmbH.
