Smart data at the service of efficiency in semiconductor manufacturing
John O'Donell, founder and CEO
Founded in 2005 in Limerick (Ireland) as MFG Vision, the company was reborn as yieldHUB in 2018 and has become a global leader in advanced analytical solutions that transform complex data into practical decision-making.
yieldHUB’s purpose is clear: to improve yield, reduce test costs, optimise quality and enhance engineering efficiency for semiconductor companies— all within a single intelligent platform.
The yieldHUB platform provides essential capabilities such as full data traceability (UID, wafer maps, lot-to-lot correlations), automated data cleansing — including both standard and customised formats — and advanced outlier detection through specialised algorithms such as DPAT, SPAT and GDBN.
Thanks to this, engineers can quickly analyse data, even across hundreds of wafers within seconds, which is critical for immediate decision-making in production. It offers both cloud and on-premise deployments, ensuring access from any device, historical scalability and centralised maintenance.
In addition, its platform includes integrated tools for communication. Users are able to make comments, chat and view historical communication, making collaboration between teams and across the global supply chain easier. Engineers receive automatic reports and notifications on yield, bins and tests, even on their mobile phones.
yieldHUB’s latest breakthrough, yieldHUB Live, ushers in the era of Industry 4.0 - offeringreal-time data of test floors, supercharged with an AI recommendation system, 3D charting and digital twin technology. All without the need for hardware or test program updates. yieldHUB Live comes with a dashboard to track the performance of testers, providing updates every minute including key metrics such as yield, site delta yield and idle time. MES data can be integrated to build powerful, actionable and auto-updated dashboards.
With a global presence and over 1,000 users, yieldHUB has processed data from more than 60 billion chips in the past year. Companies of all sizes, from emerging fabless firms to integrated device manufacturers (IDMs), rely on this platform.
This company stands out for its speed, global accessibility, scalability and the robustness of its technical support, which enables smooth onboarding and adaptation to specific needs.
With a platform that combines complete traceability, automated data cleansing and automatic analysis in a collaborative and scalable environment, yieldHUB represents a benchmark in smart data for the semiconductor industry. Its comprehensive approach is redefining how engineers translate complex data into tangible, profitable results.
