Using Q-YIELD™(Page 2 of 4)

There are 1,830 possible scatter plots of two variables. There are 35,990 possible plots of 3 variables, (assuming you can find a good way to visualize them). Supposing that you only take 15 seconds to create and view each plot, and that you ignore plots of three or more variables,  that is about eight hours of solid work.

And that is assuming that you don't miss anything.

If you start work now and aren't interrupted, you might just finish before the start of your next shift.Time to look for a better solution.

You start up your copy of Q-YIELD and import the above data set. As a first step, you examine the distribution of failures per wafer.

No obvious clues here. But it does look like there might be a Poisson distribution of failures (which is what you were expecting) with a secondary distribution imposed on the tail of the Poisson. Consequently, you set up Q-YIELD to ask the question: under what conditions are there more than 200 failures on a wafer?
