Case Study: Polar Semiconductor achieves faster, more efficient wafer manufacturing with JMP

Racing Toward the Future With Silicon and JMP®

Polar Semiconductor, a manufacturer of advanced wafers for automotive computer chips, needed to improve efficiency, control costs, make better use of equipment and data, and continuously improve in a highly competitive semiconductor market. The company faced growing pressure to produce more from existing tools while reducing variation and maintaining strict quality standards, and it turned to JMP for statistical analysis and process insight.

JMP helped Polar Semiconductor automate and optimize data collection, preparation, analysis, reporting, and engineering workflows through scripting, visualization, and dashboards. With JMP, the company improved SPC charts by 35% and boosted Cpk by 18%, while also speeding root-cause analysis, improving scrap tracking, and enabling faster, more confident decisions across the fab.
