Abstract

In an apparatus for analyzing a failure of a semiconductor device, a wafer map memory stores test result data of each test wafer. A failure die number/rate, a D/S good die number/yield and a FBM good die number/yield on each test mode of each test wafer are calculated. In case a failure bit mode to be defined is selected from a plurality of failure bit modes, a failure die rate for total dies and a failure die rate for total failure dies are calculated. An expected FBM yield, an expected D/S yield, an average D/S yield, and a maximum/minimum yield are calculated. The calculated values are displayed on a monitor.
