3. Manufacturing Operations
• Wafer Fabs: Clean rooms for processing 6” wafers, Building “chips” on wafers,
layer by layer
• Test: Electrical testing of test structures (Process Control Monitors) and chips
on wafer (Diesort)
• Thin and Saw: Wafers are thinned to thickness of paper and cut up using
diamond saws
• Product Final Test: “Chips” are assembled into final products and tested for
performance.
• Manufacturing Output: Products and Data!

4. KEY Manufacturing Metric
• YIELD = Percentage of products meeting
TriQuint quality and performance standards
that can be delivered to customers.
• Primary driving factor for top line revenue
• With complex manufacturing processes,
there are 10,000 ways to fail and it becomes
critical to react quickly and correct problems
that affect Yield.
• When Yield excursions occur:
– Need to extract and analyze large
amounts of data.
– Determine ROOT CAUSE.
– Implement corrective actions to
eliminate future occurrences.

5. Data Analysis
• TIBCO Spotfire has become TriQuint’s standard tool for Data Analysis.
• Deployment started in 2004 with 5 user license.
• Current deployment is World Wide.
• Integrated with production databases for ETL and Data Mash-ups.
• Used in “live” mode during meetings to view and analyze data.
• Build and Deploy “Analysis Dashboards”:
• Preconfigured analysis files for different types of data.
• Data Drill Down methodology with load data on demand
• Flexible, insightful analytics for everyone.

6. Benefits
• Huge improvement in turn around times in
analysis of problems from weeks to hours.
• Shift in how problems are solved and the
way engineering approaches data analysis.
– Focus on the problem and what the data
means, not where and how to get the data.
• Achieving Yield Goals:
– We set a goal of > 96% for product yields in
2006. We met and exceeded this goal by 2008.
– Recognized significant revenue from yield
improvement efforts.
