The patented latch designs are especially useable for the hot pluggability needed to achieve maximum network up-time or higher manufacturing yields.
Unfortunately for S3, deliveries of the Savage3D were hampered by poor manufacturing yields.
The redundancy schemes used in the design were not sufficient to give reasonable manufacturing yields.
The ability to control leakage could prove to be a vital advantage in the future by both increasing manufacturing yields and permitting chip makers to develop products that consume far less power.
Where possible, redundant vias are often added to improve the reliability of the circuit and enhance the manufacturing yield.
For this reason, the manufacturing yield for large sensors is very low.
Since signing a development agreement, Emergent has increased its manufacturing yield of the vaccine fourfold and demonstrated stability at elevated temperatures.
By increasing manufacturing yields, the advance was extremely valuable to chip makers.
The first task was to redesign the 6800 MPU to improve the manufacturing yield and to operate at a faster clock.
High manufacturing yields are the holy grail of the chip-making industry but Intel has been unable to translate its traditional prowess to the new technology.
