Chapter 28, Problem 22QLP

The table that follows describes three wafer-manufacturing changes: increasing the wafer diameter, reducing the chip size, and increasing process complexity. Complete the table by filling in “increase,” “decrease,” or “no change,” and indicate the effect that each change would have on the wafer yield and on the overall number of functional chips.

Change	Wafer yield	Number of functional chips
Increase wafer diameter Reduce chip size Increase process complexity
