Discover Enterprise Software

Discover Enterprise™ data management software helps device manufacturers solve yield-related problems quickly and keeps fabs productive. It enables users to find the source of killer defects and manufacturing problems by bringing together all inspection, electrical test and manufacturing information and guiding quick and thorough analysis.

 

By correlating wafer sort to defects identified earlier in the production process, Discover Enterprise enables resources to be focused on determining the root cause of yield excursions as early as possible in the production flow. By automating defect analysis with flexible alarms, Discover Enterprise allows time to be spent solving problems, instead of collecting data. And, by providing the industry's most comprehensive set of correlation methods, Discover Enterprise provides the most thorough way to attack yield-related problems.

 

Easy, fast access to yield and fab-wide information

 

For fab managers and production planners: Discover Enterprise provides easy access to yield information, making it possible to address the most critical problems in the manufacturing process and make necessary production adjustments across different facilities.

For yield and defect engineers: Discover Enterprise provides a wealth of analysis tools that make it possible to find the source of killer defects quickly.

For operators: Discover Enterprise's intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) and fast database processing make it easy to collect information and respond to problems in a timely matter.

A third-generation and production-tested system, Discover Enterprise is the most widely used data management system commercially available. It flexibly links to the process equipment of choice, has an outstanding record of high uptime, precisely correlates electrical and other test results to your inspection information, and links into your existing databases such as MES/WIP, Sort, Bitmap, WET/WAT, and others. With production experience in Memory, Logic, Microprocessor, ASIC, foundry, and other fabs, DMSVision (a predecessor to Discover Enterprise) became the market leader in data management systems by flexibly responding to customer's needs. We work with our customers to incorporate Discover Enterprise into their yield management strategy.

 

Partnering with customers to create data management solutions

 

Discover Enterprise's open architecture and scalable system make it possible to meet the needs of any fab in the world. Industry-standard file formats are supported to facilitate the interface to the Discover Enterprise database.

 

Discover Enterprise is designed for growth and enhancements. The software combines leading-edge technology with extensive experience creating data management solutions for many high volume manufacturers of integrated circuits, flat-panel displays, and magnetic read heads. Working with partners with the semiconductor industry continually adds innovative analysis capabilities to Discover Enterprise.
