caatoosee has been working with SAS Institute, the data warehouse and analysis specialists, as an SAS Quality Partner since 1997. The two companies were able to channel their core competencies into the PHILIPS project. Their mission was to analyse quality defects in the production of semiconductors at PHILIPS in terms of cause, properties and effect. The aim was to achieve maximum capacity from the production machines as well as maximum quality in wafer production.
The joint solution from caatoosee and SAS combines engineering data analysis (EDA) with data mining and traces the precise causes of production defects at PHILIPS. The results are an immediate and quantifiable success:
Improved yield from overall wafer production
Faster analysis
Increased transparency in production
Quicker access to all relevant information
