Question: Using reasonable number e . g . chip area = 2 cm ^ 2 and defect density ranging from 0 . 0 0 1 to

Using "reasonable" number e.g. chip area =2 cm^2 and defect density ranging from 0.001 to 10/cm^2, plot how you would expect the cost per chip (relative to 100% yield) to vary with defect density. Using your plot, comment on the effect of defect density reduction when the yield is (a) less than 20%,(b) over 80%( where do you get the most "bang for the buck"?)
Success hint: Don't just plot yield vs. defect density, plot cost vs. defect density. Assume the cost is, for example,
$1 per chip at 100% yield, and plot how this changes as the defect density increases.
