The Multimillion-Euro Defect Review Opportunity
Inspection does not create yield loss. Uncertain decisions on sampled wafers do.
Defect review decisions can account for millions of euros in recoverable yield per fab, per year.
Today’s AOI systems generate vast amounts of data. But when review is based on sampling and human judgement, decisions become conservative. Good die is lost. Entire lots are scrapped.
When inspection scales, decision-making becomes the constraint.
The next step is a shift in the review model.
Robovision introduces a decision layer between inspection and yield. With Industrial Vision Intelligence that uses AI-driven defect classification, every wafer is assessed individually, shifting review from sampling to full coverage.
The result: consistent, scalable decisions that protect yield and margin.

The Hidden Cost of Defect Review Decisions
Most yield loss comes from how decisions are made after inspection, rather than from missed defects. Learn how sampling and conservative review practices create structural yield loss that remains hidden in high-volume production.

Recovering Yield Loss with AI-Driven Review
What are defect review decisions really costing your fab? Our representative fab scenario reveals the true financial impact, and shows how to recover multimillion-euro yield loss through wafer-level, AI-driven decision-making.
The €3.8M Yield Impact Model
This two-pager uses a representative high-volume fab scenario to show how lost wafers result from over-containment, accumulating into a multimillion-euro yield gap. It also outlines how full-coverage, data-driven review recovers that value.

Bridging the Decision Gap Between Inspection and Yield
We know that repeated uncertain decisions create a multimillion-euro yield gap. This article discusses how to bridge that gap with a production-grade decision model that applies fab expertise at scale, without increasing risk or operational complexity.
