A method for generating reports with recoverable data

Abstract

This case discloses a method for generating reports from recoverable data, applicable to report generation systems for test equipment. The method includes: writing report data in a custom format to a temporary directory; renaming the temporary directory to at least one backup directory; determining whether the report data in the at least one backup directory needs to be output; and when the report data in the at least one backup directory needs to be output, outputting the report data in the at least one backup directory to a target directory to generate the report.

Claims

1. A method for generating reports with recoverable data, applicable to a report generation system of a test machine, the method comprising: writing a report data in a custom format to a temporary storage directory; renaming the temporary storage directory to at least one backup directory; determining whether the report data in the at least one backup directory needs to be output; and when the report data in the at least one backup directory needs to be output, outputting the report data in the at least one backup directory to a target directory to generate a report.

2. The method for generating reports of recoverable data as described in Request 1, wherein the custom format is the Standard Test Data Format (STDF).

3. The method for generating a report with recoverable data as described in claim 1 further includes: after a power outage event occurs, determining whether the report data exists in the temporary storage directory; and when the report data exists in the temporary storage directory, determining whether the report data in the temporary storage directory needs to be output.

4. The method for generating a report of recoverable data as described in claim 3 further includes: when the report data in the temporary storage directory needs to be output, outputting the report data in the temporary storage directory to the target directory to generate the report.

5. The method for generating reports with recoverable data as described in Request 3 further includes: when the report data in the temporary storage directory does not need to be output, renaming the temporary storage directory to the at least one backup directory.

6. The method for generating a report of recoverable data as described in claim 1 further includes: after a power outage event occurs, determining whether the report data exists in the temporary storage directory and the at least one backup directory; and when the report data exists in the temporary storage directory or the at least one backup directory, outputting part or all of the report data to the target directory to generate the report.

7. The method for generating a report of recoverable data as described in claim 1 further includes: determining whether the report data exists in the at least one backup directory; and when the report data exists in the at least one backup directory, outputting the report data in the at least one backup directory to the target directory to generate the report.

8. The method for generating reports of recoverable data as described in Request 2 further includes repairing a standard test data format file (STDF standard format file), wherein, The steps to repair the standard test data format file include: determining whether a FAR data exists in the report; if the FAR data exists in the report, determining whether a MIR data exists in the report; if the MIR data exists in the report, determining whether a PIR data and a PRR data exist simultaneously in the report; if both PIR and PRR data exist in the report, determining whether an HBR data exists in the report; if the HBR data exists in the report, determining whether an SBR data exists in the report; and if the SBR data exists in the report, determining whether an MRR data exists in the report.

9. The method for generating a report of recoverable data as described in Request 8 further includes: creating the FAR data when the FAR data does not exist in the report.

10. The method for generating a report of recoverable data as described in claim 8 further includes: creating the MIR data when the MIR data does not exist in the report.

11. The method for generating a report of recoverable data as described in claim 8 further includes: deleting the report when the PIR data and the PRR data do not exist simultaneously in the report.

12. The method for generating a report of recoverable data as described in Request 8 further includes: calculating and creating the HBR data when the HBR data does not exist in the report.

13. The method for generating a report of recoverable data as described in Request 8 further includes: calculating and creating the SBR data when the SBR data does not exist in the report.

14. The method for generating a report of recoverable data as described in Request 8 further includes: creating the MRR data when the MRR data does not exist in the report.

15. The method for generating reports of recoverable data as described in claim 8, wherein, The report contains: an ontology file in which the FAR data, MIR data, PIR data and PRR data are stored; and an end file in which the HBR data, SBR data and MRR data are stored.

16. The method for generating reports of recoverable data as described in claim 8, wherein, The report contains: a header file containing the FAR data, MIR data, and SDR data; a wafer start file containing the WIR data and WCR data; a body file containing the PIR data and PRR data; a wafer end file containing the WRR data; and an end file containing the HBR data, SBR data, and MRR data.
