SPMT products enable the right individuals and teams throughout the entire organization to respond to process malfunctioning collaboratively, quickly and efficiently. They align and empower the entire organization to drive and manage responsive actions in real time. Timely identified and resolved problems allow increasing product yield/throughput, improving productivity, raising profits, and minimizing losses.

SPMT products help customers achieve and maintain high yields by:

• Decreasing the time to correlate defects to yield losses
• Rapidly identifying “killer” defects
• Providing the ability to correlate equipment non-uniformity to parametric variations
• Reducing time for disposition of low-yield lots
• Providing yield impact data to operators, engineers, and management
• Filtering out spurious results from visual inspection data
• Providing automated monitoring to notify engineers of process deviations

Key categories of production personnel are enabled to quickly address process malfunctioning in an efficient coordinated way:

• Production and company management
• Shift engineering and operators
• Failure analysis, test, and characterization engineering
