Quality Assurance and Monitoring
Through Statistical Process Control (SPC), In-Line Quality Control (QC), and other statistical techniques, Atmel
is able to
®
achieve a high level of control over product quality in our manufacturing processes. Atmel’s Outgoing Quality Assurance
monitor program is geared towards ensuring that the product being shipped is of the highest quality. Any failures detected
at the outgoing quality test require the identification of the root cause and its subsequent prevention. This results in
continuous improvement of product quality levels to achieve our ultimate goal of providing our customers with products
that are free of electrical, mechanical, or visual defects.
In-Line Quality Assurance
A variety of methods are utilized throughout the testing process as a means of ensuring product quality. Atmel’s abnormal
lot control program is heavily entrenched in the flow as statistical data is continuously updated and used to identify
rogue lots. Once an abnormally yielding lot has been identified, product engineering conducts a thorough investigation
in order to determine the root cause. Statistical correlation analysis is conducted between final test yields and wafer fab
parameters in order to track and eliminate any undesirable process influences.
Quality Assurance Inspection
Final Quality Assurance Inspection is being conducted at the end of the process to ensure product quality. This is through
document verification to ensure that the lot or product passed through the required processes. Likewise, Visual/Mechanical
Inspection is performed to check that the product is in conformance with the visual and mechanical requirements.
The Quality data like Average Outgoing Quality (PPM) from the results of Final Quality Assurance inspections are use
to identify and implement corrective actions and to drive continuous improvement.
Shipping Quality Inspection
Shipping or Outgoing Quality Inspection is being performed when there is a customer order. Quality Inspector verifies that
the parts marking, quantity and shipping labels correspond with the information contained on the delivery note.
Also, special instructions, if any, are being checked to ensure that they were followed prior shipment.
