SPECIFICATION OF ELECTRIC FAILURE LINK DATA FORMAT FOR
YIELD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
This specification was technically approved by the Global Information & Control Committee and is the direct
responsibility of the Japanese Information & Control Committee. Current edition approved by the Japanese
Regional Standards Committee on July 19, 2002. Initially available at www.semi.org October 2002; to be
published November 2002. Originally published March 2001; previously published November 2001.
1 Purpose
1.1 The objective of this document is standardization
of the specific data format passed from the test
equipment to the Yield Management System. The Yield
Management System is a kind of data server for detail
test data and geometrical defect data of patterns on a
wafer as described in the Terminology section of this
document.
1.2 This document assumes a Yield Management
System in which test equipment electrical failure
information is managed and analyzed in an integrated
manner. Examples of test equipment failure information
include bit map data, bin data, and inpsection
information obtained by devices such as wafer
inspection equipment and review tools. Standardization
of the data file format helps to reduce the development
burden on customers and related vendors.
2 Scope
2.1 This document specifies the data file format for
transferring from test equipment to a Yield
Management System.
2.2 This document is an extension of the general map
data item standard, i.e. SEMI G81, and the general map
data format document, currently under development.
This document does not redefine the general
specification.
2.3 The scope of this document is just defining data
items and their formats. Data file creation methods,
data creating environments and file naming conventions
are outside of the scope of this document. Also,
communication protocols to transfer the data are
beyond the scope of this document.
2.4 This standard does not purport to address safety
issues, if any, associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user of this standard to establish
appropriate safety health practices and determine the
applicability or regulatory limitations prior to use.
3 Limitations
3.1 This standard defines extensional data for YMS
Link Data map for generic test data map standardized
by SEMI G81 and G85, data format of each item for
YMS Link Data is defined independently as extra
definition here.

5 Terminology
5.1 Defintions
5.1.1 analog data — One of three categories of data:
measured values such as voltage or current obtained
when test equipment measures a semiconductor
device’s electrical characteristics, parameter values
which are test parameters when measuring, and limit
values which are decision parameters if test results are
pass or fail.
5.1.2 bin data — same as Category below.
5.1.3 category — data indicating the type of
electric
failure or rank of characteristics of die tested by the test
equipment. Used in the same manner as Bin Data in this
standard.
5.1.4 cell-logical-address — gives the electrical
location of a memory cell in a die.
5.1.5 cell-logical-io-number — number identifying the
IO data which can be simultaneously electrically
accessed within a memory device.
5.1.6 cell-physical-address — gives location of a
memory cell in a die on two-dimensional plane.
5.1.7 die — a unit equivalent to one die on a wafer.
Also known as Chip.

5.1.8 electrical failure information — failure
information generated by test equipment; e.g. Bit Map
Data, Bin Data and Analog Data.
5.1.9 error class — specifies the type of electrical
failure configuration in a memory cell group. Bit-fail,
line-fail and block-fail are examples.
5.1.10 fail bit map data — data representing memory
cell electrical failure information according to its
location information, in units of the die or wafer.
5.1.11 inspection information — inspection results for
a wafer, indicating defect location and defect details
obtained as the result of inspection used in wafer
fabrication and the inspection process, such as
appearance inspection, contaminant inspection, etc.
5.1.12 test equipment — equipment which tests the
electrical characteristics and functions of
semiconductor devices.
5.1.13 test program name — name of program used on
test equipment when testing a die electrically.
5.1.14 yield management system (YMS) — a system
that stores visual inspection data of geometrical defects
on wafer and electrical test data of each die. The
system processes those data statistically to discover
correlation between them. Correlation leads to
discovery the cause of failures and understanding of
production situation in order to help improve yield.
Defect data is standardized in SEMI E30.1 (ISEM).
