Stone Pillar Suite^TM Overview

Stone Pillar Suite is designed to improve process development cycle times, optimize process performance, enable faster yield ramping, and enhance process stability by providing access to all aspects of semiconductor design and test data through an integrated system and improving communication of this data within an organization. Silicon Insight offers a set of application tools tailored to semiconductor process and circuit development and maintenance which enable automation and optimization of common tasks and provide unique functionality to improve engineering efficiency.

Stone Pillar Suite reduces the requirement for experimental split lots by making information about experiments available and transparent across an organization.

Stone Pillar Suite enables engineers engaged in the integration and characterization of new analog/mixed-signal semiconductor processes to focus on analysis, rather than tedious and error-prone tasks of gathering and formatting data.
