Dr. Ara Markosian to detail design-for-yield requirements.
BUSINESS WIRE
Monday May 9, 2005
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — May 9,
2005 — Ponte Solutions(TM), Inc., the
design-for-yield company, today announced that Ara
Markosian, Ponte chief technical officer, will present
at the Electronic Journal Design for Manufacturing
(DFM) Symposium at Sohyo Kaikan at Ochano-mizu, Tokyo,
Japan on May 12, 2005. In his presentation titled,
“Model-based Yield Analysis: An effective approach to
design stage yield management”, Dr. Markosian will
highlight Ponte’s approach to bridge the “yield gap”
between design and manufacturing, including a
comprehensive unified yield modeling platform,
high-capacity data processing, and robust yield
analysis.
“At 90nm and below, achieving steady and high yield is
becoming a major issue,” commented Dr. Markosian.
“Model-based yield analysis enables designers to
predict yield before tapeout and enables them to
enhance it – thereby reducing the cost of working
silicon and accelerating time-to-volume production,”
he added.
Dr. Markosian’s presentation will give the audience
deeper understanding of yield issues, yield modeling
platform and model-based comprehensive yield analysis.
