'''Yield''' is a quantitative measure of the quality of a semiconductor process. It is the fraction of [[dies]] on the yielding [[wafers]] that are not discarded during the manufacturing process. | '''Yield''' is a quantitative measure of the quality of a semiconductor process.

Although the goal of every fabrication process is to produce only working [[dies]], in practice the process is never perfect and not all dies work or operate as desired within specs. Yield is a quantitative measurement of the process quality in terms of working dies. | Although the goal of every fabrication process is to produce only working [[dies]], in practice the process is never perfect and not all dies work or operate as desired within specs.
