Knights TechnologyÕs YieldManager software is to be installed into the next generation of AMDÕs Automated Precision Manufacturing technology suite, APM version 3.0. The process control system will be used at AMDÕs 300mm Fab 36 in Dresden, Germany.
YieldManager will be used to correlate, analyse, graphically display and report fab data. In addition to the basic YieldManager package, AMD will be purchasing two optional features: the Analysis Flow Tool (AFT) and SPaR, Knights spatial pattern recognition software.
AMDÕs Ute Vogler reports: "APM 2.0, combined with the superior workforce in Dresden, has allowed AMD to reduce time to mature yields by as much as 80% in three years."
