Case Study: TriQuint Semiconductor achieves significant yield improvement and faster root-cause analysis with TIBCO Software's Spotfire

TriQuint Semiconductor Corporation Uses TIBCO Spotfire for Yield Improvement

TriQuint Semiconductor faced a common but critical challenge: improving yields across wafer fabrication, test and assembly while struggling with slow, fragmented data analysis. Traditional tools like Excel and standalone statistics packages were limited by row caps, single‑dataset workflows and time‑consuming data extraction/merging, which hampered fast root‑cause identification and cross‑step correlation.

TriQuint deployed TIBCO Spotfire as an enterprise server‑client solution, using information links, large‑scale data support (>2M rows), interactive dashboards and drill‑down workflows to link disparate datasets in real time. The result was faster, collaborative analysis (live yield meetings, fab throughput and wafermap investigations), significant time savings, measurable yield improvements and cost recoveries that more than paid for the software and roll‑out.
