The ability to manage the task with a click of a button has a profound effect on different day-to-day activities. Software-driven digitization is also a key enabler in achieving productivity, which in turn allows companies/industries to capture the market worldwide. Over the last few decades, the software delivery model has evolved. From desktop to browser to smartphone apps to cloud, the different software delivery models have increased productivity. Industries worldwide have realized the potential of software-driven solutions and have rightly adopted strategies to maximize software deployment via the cloud. The same is true for the semiconductor industry. An advanced industry like semiconductor, where a single mistake can amount […]

To do so, different industry-specific standards and processes are used. The same applies to the semiconductor manufacturing industry. In semiconductors, as the technology-node shrinks, the cost to manufacture tiny silicon increases too. To ensure there is no waste of materials, time, and cost, several different strategies are deployed to screen the part before it moves ahead in the fabrication/manufacturing line. One such strategy is root cause analysis. It so often happens, that the product being developed might encounter an issue during the qualification, testing, or packaging stage. Does not matter where the failure occurs, it is critical to understand the root cause. For an industry like semiconductor
