DR YIELD is an innovative provider of next-generation software for production
control in the PV & semiconductor industry. DR YIELD was founded in March 2005.

With the "SolarDataCenter" solution we have introduced the first comprehensive
software solution specifically tailored to the needs of manufacturers of PV cells and
components. It covers the functionality of yield management systems, statistical
process control and advanced process control.  

Our "YieldWatchDog" software enables monitoring of IC functional yield and early
detection of potential yield degradation at a level of unprecedented thoroughness
and therefore significantly improves productivity of semiconductor manufacturing
organizations.
