Semiconductor Engineering's article highlighting the advances in data analytics with the proposed Rich Interactive Test Database (RITdb) standard coming from SEMI. To support test operations, the CAST working group defined a streaming protocol for any data produced by a test cell component. This provides the meta-data about the test process that test factories can use to implement smart manufacturing.
“There’s a lot of flexibility in RITdb to handle multiple data sources,” said Mark Roos, CEO of Roos Instruments and co-chair of RITdb Taskforce. “This provides the flexibility to deal with the complexity of products that we have today.”
