BUSINESS SUMMARY 
PDF Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries provide infrastructure technologies and services to improve yield and optimize performance of integrated circuits (ICs) to semiconductor companies. It offers manufacturing process solutions that include process research and development, and process integration and yield ramp; volume manufacturing solutions; and design-for-manufacturability (DFM) solutions, such as logic DFM, circuit level DFM, and memory DFM solutions. The company also offers characterization vehicle (CV) infrastructure, which includes CV test chips, pdCV analysis software, and pdFasTest electrical wafer test system; Yield Ramp Simulator software that analyzes an IC design to compute its systematic and random yield loss; Circuit Surfer software, which estimates the parametric performance yield and manufacturability of analog/mixed-signal/radio frequency (RF) blocks in RF transmission, PLLs/DLLs, and logic critical paths; and pDfx environment that improves the manufacturability of ICs. In addition, it provides pdBRIX platform, which includes software, intellectual property (IP), and services for identifying and developing a set of physical IP building blocks that are tailored to a given manufacturing process and target product application; dataPOWER YMS platform that collects yield data, stores it in a database, and allows product engineers to identify and analyze production yield issues; and Maestria FDC software, which provides fault detection and classification capabilities to identify sources of process variations and manufacturing excursions by monitoring equipment parameters. PDF Solutions sells its technologies and services through direct sales force and strategic alliances to integrated device manufacturers, fabless semiconductor design companies, and foundries in Asia, the United States, and Europe. The company was founded in 1992 and is headquartered in San Jose, California.
