Wafer yield is the proportion of functional semiconductor dies produced on a wafer relative to the total number of fabricated dies, usually expressed as a percentage and used as a primary efficiency and quality metric in wafer fabrication. Expanded Explanation 1. Technical Function and Core Characteristics Wafer yield quantifies how many dies on a processed wafer meet predefined electrical and parametric test criteria and can proceed to packaging.
