Yield optimization in the mature fab

2001 IEEE/SEMI Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing Conference (IEEE Cat. No.01CH37160), 2002
This paper provides the authors' insights and discussions in four areas of yield optimization available to the mature semiconductor fabricator. The mature fab is arbitrarily defined as fabs older than 3 years having feature sizes of >0.5 /spl mu/m. The areas of yield optimization include: (1) cost and implementation considerations for an integrated ...

The Coupon Effect on Yield to Maturity

The Journal of Finance, 1977
IN THIS PAPER I will briefly discuss previous analyses of the coupon effect on the yield to maturity of bonds and propose a new method for deriving zero-coupon interest rates from the market prices of non-zero coupon bonds. Although it is not a panacea for all empirical problems, the proposed technique does have certain advantages over previous methods.

Flattening of Bond Yield Curves for Long Maturities

The Journal of Finance, 1982
ABSTRACTThe paper presents a theoretical proof that flattening of yield curves for par bonds is inevitable for long maturities. This proof implies that behavioral explanations of flattening are unnecessary. The proof also implies that the use of yields to maturity of couponbearing bonds to estimate the true term structure (as well as forward rates) for

Bond Taxation and the Shape of the Yield-To-Maturity Curve

The Journal of Finance, 1979
EMPIRICAL STUDIES1 HAVE FOUND a wide variety of shapes of bond yield to maturity curves (showing yield to maturity versus maturity) for coupon-bearing bonds. It is widely believed that zero coupon bond yield curves will have similar shapes. The relationship between yield curves for zero coupon bonds and couponbearing bonds is important because the ...

Plant maturity and kenaf yield components

Industrial Crops and Products, 2002
Abstract Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.), an alternative fiber crop for paper pulp production, is normally grown during the entire summer growing season (150 days and longer) to maximize fiber production. However, it may be advantageous to harvest the kenaf crop earlier than 150 days after planting (DAP) depending on the harvesting conditions (e.g ...

YIELD-MATURITY RELATIONSHIPS IN OATS

Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 1961
Based on data collected over a period of 14 years from an average of 16 stations represented each year, and a total of 143 varieties tested, a positive correlation between maturity and yield is reported when conditions are favourable for all maturity classes.

The Bond-Type Effect on Yield to Maturity

The Scandinavian Journal of Economics, 1987
A bond-type effect which supplements the well-known coupon effect on yield to maturity is presented in this paper. By analyzing annuity bonds, serial bonds and fixed coupon bonds, it is shown that the bond-type effect is substantially larger than the coupon effect, which would hardly be detectable in prices quoted on the bond market.

Evaluation of maturity characteristics and of yield components

Tanzania Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2015
Several bean growing areas in Tanzania have unreliable and marginal rains necessitating use of short maturing and high yielding varieties. Such varieties however, are not, readily available. This study was done to evaluate varieties for maturity, yield and its components in the bean growing areas of Morogoro, Tanzania.

Yield and Yield Components of Early Maturing Soybean Genotypes in the Mid‐South

Crop Science, 1996
Maturity group (MG) IV soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivars are planted in April through June in the mid‐south. April plantings are used to avoid mid‐season droughts, though seed quality from April plantings of MG IV cultivars is often poor. Thus, a late June planted seed quality nursery is required for breeding material.

Cultivar maturity and potential yield of soybean

Field Crops Research, 1993
Abstract Soybean ( Glycine max (L.) Merrill) cultivars from maturity groups 00, I, III, and V were grown in the field to evaluate the relationship between the length of total growth cycle and potential yield. Cultivars from maturity group 00 and I were grown in narrow rows (0.38 m) to obtain maximum insolation interception.
