STDF Viewer supports files under STDF Version 4 Specification, ZIP*, GZ and BZIP compressed STDF files can also be opened without decompression.
STDF files can be opened in 3 ways:
- Select a STDF file in a file dialog by clicking
openbutton on the toolbar. - Right click on a STDF file and select STDF Viewer to open.
- Drag a STDF file into the GUI to open.
Note: ZIP format support is limited, works only if:
- ZIP file is not password protected.
- Contains only 1 file per ZIP.
- ZIP file is created using
DEFLATEcompression method, which is the default on popular OSs' native zip tool.
By clicking the Fail Marker button on the toolbar can paint all failed test items in red, if the Find Low Cpk is enabled in Settings, test items with Cpk lower than the threshold (can be set in Settings) will be painted in orange.
DUTs' info can be viewed in Detailed Info -> DUT Summary. Each line in the table represents a single DUT, and it will be marked in red if this DUT is failed.
If STDF files contain multiple heads and/or sites, you may also filter out the DUTs of non-interest by selecting specific heads and/or sites in Site/Head Selection.
DUTs' info can be sorted by any columns. For instance, the screenshot below showing the result of sorting the DUTs by flags.
All the GDR (Generic Data Record) and DTR (Datalog Text Record) will be listed in Detailed Info -> GDR & DTR Summary. The precise location of GDR & DTR is hard to trace, the relative location compared to PIR/PRR is given instead.
For GDR, each line in the Value column represents a V1 data, which is displayed in the format of {V1 index} {V1 data type}: {V1 data}.
Note: Data of Bn & Dn type is shown in HEX string.
Importance Notice: Functional Tests (FTR) have no test value, instead, the test flag is used as the test value for drawing trend charts and histograms
All test items in the STDF file will be shown in the Test Selection, in which you can select single or multiple test item(s). The search box below can help you find test item(s) more easily.
Statistic (Cpk, mean, std dev, etc.) of the test items in the selected heads and sites is displayed in Test Statistics.
Select test item(s) and then navigate to Detailed Info -> Test Summary. Each row is a DUT that's been tested in the selected heads and sites, data of selected tests will be appended to the rightmost column.
Display interactive trend charts of test item(s), y axis is the value of the test item, x axis is the index of DUTs that's been tested in selected head and site. You can hover over the point to show more information.
If the test have PAT enabled, e.g. high/low limits in PTRs are changing over duts, the dynamic limits will be shown instead.
Display interactive histograms of test item(s), x axis is the test value distribution, y axis is the DUT counts of each bin. you can hover over the rectangle to display its data range and dut counts.
Display histograms of dut counts of each hardware bin and software bin in selected heads and sites.
Test Statistic table displays the bin name, bin number and precentage, bins with DUT counts of 0 will be hidden.
If STDF files contain wafer information (WCR, WIR, WRR records), the Wafer Map tab will be enabled.
There is a stacked wafer map at the top of Wafer Selection that summarizes the total count of fail dut in each (X, Y) coordinates of all wafermaps in the current file.
Other entries in Wafer Selection represents the wafer maps in the file, color of each die is determined by its software bin.
In some cases, it would be helpful to see the detailed test results of some DUTs, as shown below. It can be achieved by several methods in the STDF Viewer.
Select row(s) of interest and right click, click Read selected DUT data in the context menu.
Select cell(s) of interest and right click, click Read selected DUT data in the context menu.
Click on the data point (or press Shift to select multiple), when the point(s) are marked by S, press Enter on the keyboard.
Click on the histogram rectangle (or press Shift to select multiple), selected rectangles will be marked in red stroke, press Enter will list all duts whose test values lie in select range(s).
Click on the bins of interest (or press Shift to select multiple), press Enter will show all duts in these bins.
Click on the die(s), press Enter will show you duts in the selected (X, Y).
Almost all information displayed on STDF Viewer can be exported to a Excel report.
Each checkbox in Report Content Selection will be saved in a individual sheet in the report.
File Info: File properties, MIR, MRR, ATR, RDR and SDR inifo.DUT Summary: Content in DUT Summary table, test data will be added if test items are selected.Trend Chart: Trend Plot + Statistics.Histogram: Histogram Plot + Statistics.Bin Chart: Bin Plot + bin summary.Wafer Map: All Wafermap Plots.Test Statistics: Statistics of all selected test items.GDR & DTR Summary: All GDR and DTR info.
The numbers of figures/data in the report are based on numbers of tests in Export Tests and selected Heads and Sites.
STDF Viewer offers a global setting UI, which can change the appearance of figures, colors of each sites/bins, etc. in STDF Viewer or the exported report.
The description should be self-explanatory, feel free to play it around.
Users can change the default fonts for UI display and data plots.
Rename a TrueType Font (.ttf) file to apply the font for a certain language:
- Chinese: prefix
cn_ - English: prefix
en_
For example, we want to use a font file named testfontforchinese.ttf as the default Chinese font, it should be renamed to cn_testfontforchinese.ttf, it will be the default font for Chinese language, other languages will not be affected.
Copy the renamed font file to /fonts folder, it is located at:
- Windows: next to the
.EXE - macOS:
STDF Viewer.app/Contents/Resources/fonts - Ubuntu:
/usr/local/bin/STDF-Viewer/fonts
Relaunch STDF Viewer to apply the changes.
If you have encountered any error, follow these steps to create a report:
- Open STDF-Viewer and click
Aboutin the top-right corner.
- Click
debugbutton to show the debug panel.
- Click
Display Log Fileto print all the error logs on the screen; If the error is file-related, clickSTDF Record Type Readerand select the file that triggers the error. - Click
Save Resultand create an issue on github.
