Yield Dynamics’ Genesis Software Purchased by
ATI
Technologies for
Corporate-Wide Yield Management
Sunnyvale, CA, April 15, 2004
–
Yield Dynamics, Inc. (“YDI”) announced today that ATI Technologies, Inc. (TSX:ATY,
NASDAQ:ATYT) has purchased YDI’s Genesis Fabless™ software for its
enterprise-wide yield management solution.
ATI’s solution encompasses multiple synchronized Yield Base® database
instances across ATI’s facilities in Markham, Ontario, Canada and Taiwan (Hsin
Chu, and Kao Hsiung). The Genesis floating client software includes
YDI’s patented Yield Mine DFM® (Design for Manufacturability) data mining,
Fabless Parametric and Reliability Analysis software, and custom workflow
development capability. ATI’s solution also includes enterprise-wide
data unification from multiple foundries and test houses, as well as
several ATI legacy databases, performed by YDI’s data integration services
group.
Adopting an enterprise-wide fabless yield management solution will
enable ATI engineers and managers to manage multiple data sets from
outsourced operations around the world, improving efficiency,
productivity, and yields, while reducing costs.
According to Jim Seto, ATI’s Vice President of ASIC Engineering and
Operations, “ATI’s decision to invest in YDI’s software platform
corporate-wide was based on the Genesis product’s proven effectiveness in
both foundry and fabless manufacturing environments, YDI’s global
technical support presence, and ATI’s ongoing process of improving its
yields and manufacturing effectiveness to keep pace with the strong demand
for its leading-edge graphics processors. Especially attractive to
us is the ability to use Genesis’ workflow custom development to embody
our own proprietary yield enhancement techniques within the yield software
platform.”
Homi Fatemi, YDI’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing, commented,
“ATI’s selection of Genesis reflects the benefit that world-leading
fabless companies can receive from YDI’s database integration across
multiple nodes, broad applications for parametric data analysis, and
availability of a user-friendly Workflow Development Platform™ for
effortless ‘drag-and-drop’ development of proprietary yield improvement
methodologies.”
