Subject: stds-1450.4: STIL.4 binning - summary of binning info for
Agilent, Credence, Teradyne, Schlumberger


Hi, P1450.4'rs,

In order to provide a reference as we begin to define P1450.4 binning syntax, Ernie Wahl and I have summarized the binning schemes for several different vendors - Agilent (93000), Credence, Teradyne, and Schlumberger (ITS9000).

The document can be found at:

http://65.119.15.228/stil.4/P1450_binning.pdf 

or go to the working group web site (http://65.119.15.228/stil.4/) and click on the "P1450 Binning survey" link (dated June 24, 2002).

Thanks to Ernie Wahl for providing a summary of the Credence and Teradyne binning.  If anyone has additional information on these or other testers, please forward that info to me
(jim_oreilly@agilent.com)

Don Organ, can you provide a summary of how LTX enVision does binning? (and since you've previously provided to the WG some program examples in Stylus, let us know if it's OK to use the binning/flow info in this document).  I'm pretty comfortable with the Agilent binning description - if anyone has more info on any of the others, please forward the revisions to me (jim_oreilly@agilent.com).

Dan Fan or Jim Mosely, perhaps you could describe the Schlumberger binning strategies in terms similar to what's used for the Credence/Teradyne binning strategies.

Thanks,

Jim O'Reilly
