TWM607663U - Printed circuit board yield rate and production equipment error rate backtracking system - Google Patents

Abstract

A system for tracing back a yield rate of printed circuit board (PCB) and a error rate of production equipment is to assign a motherboard code to a circuit board, divide the circuit board into multiple manufacturing areas based on the PCB, and assign an area code to each manufacturing area. Each PCB produced by the circuit board is marked with an information pattern code. According to which the PCB is detected, if it does not meet the product standard, a defect feature is generated to record the PCB yield rate and production equipment error rate. When the PCB is defective, in addition to judging the location of the defect in the PCB itself, it can also judge the manufacturing process of the circuit board in the PCB, which can greatly improve the production yield of subsequent PCB and reduce the error rate of production equipment.
