Magma integrates new software in Camtek's Falcon
Bangalore: Magma, a provider of chip design software announced that Camtek, an automatic optical inspection systems provider has integrated Magma's YieldManager software into Falcon, Camtek's flagship line of automated wafer inspection and metrology systems, and will sell it as an option. YieldManager is a customizable yield-management software that allows engineers to collect, correlate, analyze and share critical data. YieldManager combines high-level correlation of data from disparate sources with the rapid drill-down of data scope to expedite root-cause identification of yield-limiting problems, saving engineering time and focusing resources. "Advanced fabs have an array of sophisticated equipment that provides engineers with an unprecedented amount of information about the IC, but analysis of the data is time consuming," said Ankush Oberai, Vice President of Magma's Fab Analysis Business Unit. Engineers have to spend a lot of time to correlate data from the large equipments that they operate, the YieldManager software attempts to solve this problem. Even operating costs play a crucial role in the semiconductor industry, which the software tries to address. "Minimizing manufacturing costs while ensuring reliability are critical factors for semiconductor success," said Rafi Amit, CEO of Camtek. "By enabling better identification of yield problems, YieldManager can help semiconductor customers achieve their cost, performance and time-to-market goals," Amit added.
