dataBASE
Converts all formats of data into a common dataBASE for logical archival and retrieval.
Without the right tools, data management can be an overwhelming task in the semiconductor industry. Data is produced in huge volumes and varying formats from each process inspection and test step throughout manufacturing - front-end through the back-end.
The IDS dataBASE system addresses this need for reliable data collection, storage and retrieval. The relational dataBASE environment includes tools which enable you to efficiently manage data, while providing worldwide client access and integration of all data sources. Data collection is an essential part of data management. To unlock the information from the data, you need to be able to safeguard the integrity of raw data and rapidly convert it into a common format so that analysis can be performed. IDS offers a library of binary data readers that are integrated into dataBASE, so data can be automatically imported from most of the major test and inspection systems. A general purpose ASCII reader is also provided, making it possible to import ASCII data files in almost any format.
Fast, flexible data retrieval is also essential to efficient data management. Data must be accessible, easily related and quickly retrieved before any analysis can be performed. dataBASE allows you to establish relationships between wafers, lots, products, product families, tests and test programs - before retrieval.
The dataBASE palette gives immediate access to all current daatabases, as well as windows for data retrieval, relations and operations. The logical series of operational and relations windows allows you to intelligently organize and relate the masses of production data that must be tracked and retrieved - a level of accessibility that is unmatched in the industry.
dataBASE Overview
The data management system globally integrates front-end to back-end data sources.

Parameter Operations Window
View detailed information for each parameter, including limits, historical information and filtering options. Create parameter groups across programs.

dataBASE Retrieval Window
Load binning or parametric results into the analysis environment. Data can be retrieved at run, lot, wafer, die or site level.
