In semiconductor manufacturing, precision is everything. The Die Calculator from TechInsights empowers engineers, procurement specialists, and finance teams with the insights they need to understand die utilization and yield with confidence. Whether you’re planning wafer starts, modeling costs, or optimizing production, our intuitive calculator brings critical yield data to your fingertips.
Now available on the TechInsights Platform for all users.
Accelerate Planning and Decision-Making with Powerful Capabilities
With wafer costs continuing to rise, understanding the relationship between die size, defect density, and electrical yield has never been more essential. The Die Calculator delivers fast, reliable results with a streamlined user experience designed to work for both quick estimates and detailed analysis.
Choose the mode that suits your workflow:
- Basic Mode: Instantly calculate Gross Die, Die Yield, and Net Die using default yield model assumptions and user input for defect density
- Advanced Mode: Unlock full control with adjustable parameters including Street Width, Edge Exclusion, and Yield Model.
Simple. Fast. Actionable.
Here’s how it works:
- Select Wafer Size: Choose the wafer diameter (MM).
- Enter Die Dimensions: Input die width and height.
- Input Test Sites: Account for non-production die areas.
- Enter Defect Density: Use default (Murphy model) or customize it in Advanced Mode.
- Calculate and Instantly Get:
- Gross Die: Total die per wafer
- Die Yield: Estimated pass rate post-electrical test
- Net Die: Electrically functional dies per wafer
