Semiconductor Yield Forecasting Using Quadratic-Programming-Based Fuzzy Collaborative Intelligence Approach

Abstract EN

Several recent studies have proposed fuzzy collaborative forecasting methods for semiconductor yield forecasting.

These methods establish nonlinear programming (NLP) models to consider the opinions of experts and generate fuzzy yield forecasts.

Such a practice cannot distinguish between the different expert opinions and can not easily find the global optimal solution.

In order to solve some problems and to improve the performance of semiconductor yield forecasting, this study proposes a quadratic-programming- (QP-) based fuzzy collaborative intelligence approach.
