• Weak Signal Early Detection
• Productivity increase (Idle, Pause trends, etc…)
• OEE measurement covering all test platforms and operations
11
O+ Solution Works/Results & TrendsEarly Detection (ED)
• Benefit
• Detect anomalies/marginalities as early as possible to
reduce tester stoppages (anticipate test cell controller alarms)
• Achieved performances:
• Improved process control through tightening of bin,
overall yield and site to site deviations by implementing
dynamic rules (O+ calculated) moving from sigma of 3 and
IQR of 5 (initial) to 2 (early detection mode)
• Overall decreasing trend of alarms with tightening of rules implying
process is more under control
• Estimated gains of 1% test cell utilization

3. OEE = 𝑇𝑃𝑇
𝑇𝑂𝑃= Availability x Uptime Efficiency x Quality Rate
Note 1: Quality Rate (Yield) is embedded in the formula as TPT includes the GOOD Units only !
Note 2: TPT is the theoretical production time of the good units obtained through the FIRST PASS only (i.e. :
Rework and Retest are excluded)
OEE: Increased Productivity
• Enabling a fact-based Macro detractor measurement in terms of
• Engineering, Unloading, Inefficiency
• At test cell level, to improve OEE:
• When test cell is not testing:
• System is linked to MES and to O+ solution
• Orgnization able to target main source of unefficiency such as:
• Down time
• Lack of operator
• When cell is under testing
• We retrieve in «real-time» data from O+ solution
• Real time targeting source of unefficiency such as:
• Prober issue
• Wafer replacement cycle time

Excursion lifecycle 20
If undetected it
impacts a
consistent part of
the WIP
If Detected at this
stage can become:
Internal
Excursion
It impacts our
customers
Customer excursionAn Excursion starts with
an event (a mistake or a
combination of them)
…not yet called Excursion
…no BIG signal
Prevention: avoid the generation
of the initial small event
How: Proper risk management at
all stages of development and
HVM (FMEA, FMKM, APQP)
Impact minimization:
1. Detect the event
2. stop its proliferation
3. Dispose the impacted material.
It happens AFTER the generation of the initial event
How: SPC, EWS, FT, PAT, SBL / SYL, MRB….
Detection failed
Problem solving methodologies
How: 8D / WHY WHY / SRC to do:
• Containment
• Correction
• Prevention of reoccurrence

Violations to Quality Firewall reduce Quality Score:
Control limits at PT, single point failure, etc.
Violations to Quality Firewall reduce Quality Score:
Control limits at current tests, multiple retests, etc.
Violations to Quality Firewall reduce Quality Score:
Control limits, multiple retests, site to site, etc.
Lot below minimum Quality score
Not released to customer (additional tests or scrap)
• Is a good lot really good ?
• Identify outlier lots via a Quality Score which combines 100+ small signals
based on performance at each test step (Parametric, EWS, FT)
• Pilot running in Q3 on selected product

Quality Firewall steps: summary 23
1. Enhanced Statistical controls, based on more
sophisticated statistical analysis
• SPC breakthrough by implementation of state of
art algorithm
• Overhaul of existing statistical controls (PAT,
SBL, SYL) : PAT algorithm choice, bin
assignment and Bin Limit calculation
• Control limits deployment, from PT to Final Test
2. Quality Index deployment
• Quality index calculation by lot and within lot by
wafer to identify ‘maverick’ material potentially at
risk
Monitors and KPI
• Critical products deployment:
Completed action vs. planned actions
• Critical products performance: Tralica
(ppm after actions) by product
• Effectiveness KPI: Number of
products having 0km failures vs.
number of delivered products
• Efficiency KPI: Number of 0km failures
addressed by project actions vs. total
number 0km failures

SPC Breakthrough: Why ?
• Market requests to intercept PPB (parts per billion)
• Need to increase detection capability at every step of the production process
• Statistics methodology applied in manufacturing has continuously improved
but had no breakthrough for several years
• Software and tool capability allows to optimize how to treat the tremendous
amount of data from all plants
• ST set up a network of ST Statisticians (STATS) to drive innovation in
statistics & SPC

Missed Out of control!!
Electrical Test: Enhanced Statistical controls
• Enhanced Statistical controls for outlier and abnormal lots detection,
based on sophisticated statistical analysis to cover these areas:
1. New PAT algorithm (O+)
• Previous company disappeared; new features added into new SW
• Includes Dynamic PAT, Geographic PAT, Z-PAT, NNR
2. New algorithm to set SYL / SBL limits (Bootstrap) validated
3. Control limits at electrical test level full deployment
• Perimeter: Parametric test, EWS, FT
• Mandatory for Quality Firewall Prediction step
26
New PAT Algorithm: Geographic
• GPAT, ZPAT, DPAT
• GDBN (Good Die in Bad Neighborhood) – yield
based local nighborhood
• Zonal exclusion – exclude dice and zones
• NNR (Nearest Neighbor Residual) – parametric
level neighborhood
• Cluster detection
27
How to Anticipate Detection ?
• Problem statement: how to detect small signals not detected today ?
• ST already uses several best known methods to detect outlier lots but this is
not enough
• Equipment and process control at wafer fab and assembly plant
• SBL, SYL during EWS, FT
• PAT (geographical, parametric including sophisticated algorithms such as NNR)
• Quality Firewall project wants to identify sophisticated algorithms to detect
small signals not caught today. Two options analyzed:
• Option 1: Univariate combination of PT, EWS, FT parameter
• Option 2: Data science
28
Excursion eradication: next steps
How ST Reduced Excursions 2012-15
• ST launched specific initiative to reduce excursions back in 2012
• Main areas of focus 2012-15 have been:
• Establish clear excursion definition aligned to customer, clear process to manage crisis
• Set up process to manage manufacturing stability
• Set up process for effective baseline defectivity (QIP) with closed feedback loop
• Implement BKM and tools at testing and SPC (Outlier detection, CLM, Quality firewall)
• Review of the process to manage changes (CRB)
• Improve management of incoming material
• Reinforce operational discipline in specific area
• Reinforce engineering bandwidth in specific FE, BE (LEAP)
• Eradicate SRC (Systemic Root Cause)
• Specific task force on technologies / products with high PPB level

NOTE: Excursion definition not fully aligned in 2012 out of automotive
31
Vision & Next challenges 32
How to remove outliers ?
• Traditional approach (Univariate Outliers screening) does not fully
protect the customers from quality issues
• Existing algorithms for univariate outlier filtering have significant impact
on costs (yield loss due to PAT, statistical bin limits, etc.)
33
MULTIVARIATENew approach• SPL (Statistical parametric Limit)
• Data science methods to analyze ALL parameters
at a time (from univariate to multivariate)
• Break the silos (between SPC and electrical tests,
between parametric and electrical test, etc.)
• To rebuild and map overall test data @ wafer level
Data science: Vision
• Big Data is the new wave of structural change in the semiconductor industry
• Big Data is the boost of company digitalization toward “data centric brain on” company
• The whole operation chain “integration” of digital systems with suppliers and customers will
reshape the market and the industry
• Big Data will result into a cultural change in the industry, giving engineering access to key
analytics and predictive information
• Opportunities is about:
• Profit : Improve manufacturing efficiency like yield improvement, preventive maintenance to
predictive maintenance, early failure detection…
• Market Share : Cost savings and better quality to improve competitiveness
• Innovation : Understand quicker customer need by monitoring real time usage of our products.
