Outgoing quality estimator

Know your outgoing ppm, and defend it.

Turn test and process parameters into a modelled outgoing quality figure your auditors can trust.

DefectOptiX estimates your outgoing ppm and ppb from the inputs you already have, shows the uncertainty around it, and gives you a costed path to a lower number. It runs in your browser, so your design data never leaves your machine.

Inside the analysis

A few of the views you get

The problem

What is your outgoing ppm?

It is the first question in a quality audit, and test coverage is only one input to it.

01

You cannot back the claim

A ppm figure with no model behind it will not survive a customer audit.

02

Escapes get expensive fast

One field return can trigger containment, an 8D, and a line-down. The cost is never just the part.

03

Decisions are made blind

Add burn-in? Tighten guardbands? Without a model, every one of these is a guess.

Without DefectOptiX

A number you cannot explain

  • One ppm figure, no model behind it
  • Hard to defend when the auditor asks how
  • Screening and guardband calls made on gut feel
With DefectOptiX

A number you can stand behind

  • A modelled ppm and ppb, with a confidence band
  • Every input and every step is visible and reviewable
  • A ranked, costed path to your target quality
How it works

From your inputs to a number you can defend

Feed in what you already track. DefectOptiX models the outgoing quality, shows the uncertainty, and works backward to the cheapest way to hit your target.

The engine
  • A 5-layer model across yield, coverage effectiveness, escape compounding, screening, and output
  • Works for digital and analog coverage across your test pipeline
The uncertainty
  • A confidence band around the estimate, so you show a range
  • Built from a 10,000-run Monte Carlo simulation
The reverse solver
  • Put in a target ppm, get back a ranked list of actions
  • Costed levers, so you spend where it pays off
The outputs
  • Dashboard and trade-off view, down to ppb for ASIL-D work
  • PDF report and Excel export for audits and reviews
Two modes

Forward and reverse

Run it forward to turn parameters into an outgoing quality figure. Run it reverse to turn a target figure into a ranked set of actions.
