Yield Dynamics Releases Genesis FPD™ for
Flat Panel Display Yield Optimization

Santa Clara, CA, June 20, 2003 Yield Dynamics, Inc. today announced the release of Genesis FPD™ for flat panel display (FPD) yield optimization.  Genesis FPD implements the industry leading technologies featured in the Genesis Enterprise™ yield management software platform, but specifically engineered for the thin-film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) market requirements for data collection, storage, visualization, analysis, and daily production yield monitoring and reporting.

Genesis Enterprise is the market leader in semiconductor yield management software, having been selected by the world's preeminent microprocessor manufacturers, memory manufacturers, semiconductor foundries, fabless semiconductor companies, and leading consumer electronics companies, in enterprise deployments that emphasize unmatched capability to deliver parametric, defect and memory solutions seamlessly integrated into a cost effective, extensible software platform.

In extending the Genesis platform for the needs of TFT-LCD fabrication customers, Genesis FPD permits flat panel display manufacturers to meet the escalating production challenges posed by increasing plate sizes and screen resolutions, thereby dramatically reducing the analysis time required to find root causes of yield issues.  Optical defects from inspection processes are correlated against pixel failure data through the application of patented Yield Mine FPD™ automated decision making technology.  This rapidly determines the process equipment, defect classes, sizes, and layers that are most likely to cause fatal and expensive pixel failures.  Genesis FPD also allows customers to easily monitor the production process through a wide selection of pre-configured reports, charts, and analyses, in addition to custom analyses through on-demand workflow development.

"Because the flat panel display market is facing increasing levels of manufacturing complexities, it is an excellent choice for this next extension of our proven software platform for yield maximization," commented Dr. Jonathan Buckheit, Yield Dynamics' President and CEO.  "The successful application of Genesis to flat panel underscores the flexibility and extensibility of our comprehensive platform-based software approach that has achieved highly demonstrable process improvement and yield optimization results in the world's leading integrated circuit manufacturing sites."
