Intel's Test Quality System
IC manufacturers carefully guard certain types of data for their manufacturing processes, including their yield data and their quality procedures because both of these involve the competitive strength and customer perception of the value of their products in the semiconductor marketplace. As such, it is relatively rare for major CMOS IC manufacturers to share these types of details with others in technical papers. This short paper provides a refreshing glimpse into Intel's test quality system and it was valuable motivation for others to evaluate, compare, and publish this type of information for their own specific IC manufacturing processes.
