Yield

Yield The percentage of non-defective products on a semiconductor. The semiconductor yield is a percentage of the total number of chips that were actually produced to the maximum chip (IC) count on one wafer. It is the opposite of the defective rate. In other words, the yield is the actual number produced to the total numbers that were put in. The higher the yield, the higher the productivity. Therefore, increasing the yield is very important in the semiconductor industry. However, as semiconductors are composed of fine circuits, a single defect in the manufacturing process can bring critical damage to the product. Therefore, in order to increase the yield, many conditions must be met, such as the precision of the manufacturer’s machines, good hygiene in the clean room, the process conditions, and more.
