A test data analysis system for analyzing test data generated by a tester for a set of components, comprising:
- a diagnostic system comprising a classifier, wherein:
- the classifier comprises a neural network;
- and
- the diagnostic system is configured to:
- automatically analyze the test data to identify a characteristic in a process for fabricating the components;
- and
- recognize a pattern in the test data, wherein the classifier classifies the pattern using the neural network.
A test data analysis system for analyzing test data for a set of components fabricated and tested using a fabrication process, comprising:
- a memory for storing the test data;
- and
- a diagnostic system comprising a pattern recognition system having access to the memory and configured to classify patterns in the test data using a neural network and identify a characteristic of the fabrication process based on the test data.
A method, implemented by a computer comprising a processor, for testing components fabricated and tested according to a fabrication process, comprising:
- obtaining test data for the components;
- and
- analyzing the test data and automatically identifying a characteristic of the fabrication process based on the test data wherein automatically identifying the characteristic comprises classifying a pattern in the test data using a neural network, by the processor.
A non-transitory computer readable medium containing computer instructions stored therein for causing a computer processor to perform a method for analyzing test data comprising:
- obtaining test data for the components;
- and
- analyzing the test data and automatically identifying a characteristic of the fabrication process based on the test data comprising:
- recognizing a pattern in the test data;
- comparing the recognized pattern to a known pattern associated with the characteristic;
- and
- classifying the recognized pattern according to a known pattern using a neural network.
