  1. CASTcollaborative alliance for semiconductor testing 2013- 2014 Scope of Work – A proposal

  2. CAST Charter The “Collaborative Alliance for Semiconductor Test” charter includes: • Foster pre-competitive collaboration • Research, develop and promote standards that enable industry productivity improvements • Perform pre-competitive benchmarks • Act as a representative and an advocate for the members

  3. CAST Charter Foster pre-competitive collaboration: • Eliminate barriers to participation, enabling a broad membership and level playing field-- inclusive of all semiconductor industry participants with emphasis on manufacturing process cost, efficiency and yield beginning with wafer test and ending with shipment to the customer

  4. CAST Charter Research, develop and promote standards that enable industry productivity improvement: • Resource and drive specifications to enable efficient and effective interoperability while fostering an environment that encourages fast development, deployment and usage of specifications or standards

  5. CAST Charter Perform pre-competitive benchmarks: • Quantifying end-user process efficiency and effectiveness, and identifying opportunities to improve end-user process efficiency via collaborative efforts

  6. CAST Charter Act as a representative and an advocate for the members: • Focus on fostering a better understanding of their strategic value to the semiconductor industry; targets will include the industry, universities, governments and other organizations

  7. CAST: A More Effective Pre-Competitive Collaboration Stakeholders must dedicate resources to initiatives • Contributing stakeholders are allowed to participate, “vote” and free access to standards • Contributing stakeholders are promised results in a timely manner • Non-Contributing stakeholders can obtain access at some fee • Must have major ATE, Handler and IC company Represented CAST must provide Project Management • Clear scope, deliverables and schedules. • Phased approach • Steering committee acts as sponsors with go/no-go decisions at phase milestones

  8. CAST Membership • Assess current membership • Identify target companies to get on board • Ideally have a good representation of the semiconductor landscape • SEMI Equipment Manufacturers, SEMI Devices Manufacturers (Fabless, IDMs and OSATS) • and market regions • US, Europe and Asia

  9. CAST Proposed Structure

  10. CAST Proposed Focus • We should be inspired and driven by the ITRS Roadmap • We should focus on those areas that today are identified as “challenges” and for which no known solution is existing or for which solutions are desirable. • CAST role would be to • Put the relevant actors/technical leaders together • Investigate options • Define guidelines leading to standards • Undertake/Sponsor pre-competitive initiatives
