Abstract:
A method of predicting product yield may include determining defect characteristics for a product based at least in part on inspection data associated with critical layers of the product, determining yield loss for each of the critical layers, and estimating product yield based on the determined yield loss of the critical layers. A corresponding apparatus is also provided.
