"Ousted" Intel CEO Steps In To Defend The Firm's 18A Process, Says Yield Rate % Isn't The Right Metric To Measure Semiconductor Progress in c/technology@lemmy.world

Yield over die area should be the metric.

If you have a chip that is 50% of the wafer area, a single fault will lead to a yield of 50%. Now compare it with a chip that is 1% of the wafer area, the same single fault gets a yield of 99%.

So comparing the yields of two processes without factoring in the die area is not a fair game.

What higher/specialized ed do you have? How'd it help you get/keep your job? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Masters in Electrical Engineering, focus on digital IC design.

Without it - and it being from a prestigious university here in Germany - I would never have landed the job I currently have (first job after university). Also, initial pay was fixed on whether you have a PhD or not.

But I think, for everything after this initial job and salary, the diploma doesn’t matter at all anymore. Also from fellow students I hear, that this focus on the diploma is very prevalent in Germany but not so much in other countries.
