About This Course
Machine Learning for IC Yield: Models, SHAP Explainability focuses on a high-value manufacturing problem: why chips fail and how to make more of them work. You learn to build ML models that predict integrated-circuit yield from process and test data, and — distinctively — to open the black box with SHAP explainability, so engineers can see which factors drive yield loss and act on them. The course pairs prediction with the interpretability manufacturing decisions require. You finish able to build and explain an IC-yield model. A verified e-Certificate of competency and e-Marksheet from the Deep Science & Technology Consortium.
