Combining Negative Binomial and Weibull Distributions for Yield and Reliability Prediction
March/April 2006 (vol. 23 no. 2)
pp. 110-116
Editor's note: It is important to understand the correlation between defects causing yield loss and defects causing reliability failures. This article presents a modeling methodology and supporting data, demonstrating that yield and reliability defects can be directly linked in a unified model. ?Phil Nigh, IBM Microelectronics
