STDF Reader Skill

This skill provides access to the STDF Reader CLI tool for parsing and analyzing semiconductor STDF test data files.

Prerequisites

Install via pip (python version 3.9+):

bash

pip install stdf-reader

Use the virtual environment for running any commands:

bash

source .venv/bin/activate

Available Commands

1. Convert STDF to CSV (most common)

Parse one or more STDF files into a CSV log for analysis:

bash

stdf-reader convert-csv <stdf_file(s)> [-o output_name]

Options:

```
--ignore-tnum
```
— Ignore test number (match by name only)
```
--ignore-chnum
```
— Ignore channel number in test name
```
--no-merge
```
— Output separate CSV per file (default: merge into one)

Example:

bash

stdf-reader convert-csv input.stdf
# Output: input.stdf_csv_log.csv

stdf-reader convert-csv lot1.stdf lot2.stdf -o merged_output
# Output: merged_output_csv_log.csv

2. Convert STDF to XLSX

Parse STDF file into a formatted Excel table (shows all record types):

bash

stdf-reader convert-xlsx <stdf_file>

3. Convert Diagnosis STDF to ASCII

Convert STDF V4-2007.1 files with STR/PSR diagnosis records to ASCII CSV:

bash

stdf-reader convert-diag <stdf_file>

4. Extract Single Record Type

Extract a specific STDF record type (DTR, GDR, TSR) to CSV:

bash

stdf-reader extract-record <stdf_file> --type DTR

5. Generate Analysis Report

Generate comprehensive XLSX report from CSV (includes data statistics, bin summary, wafer map):

bash

stdf-reader report <csv_file(s)> [-o output.xlsx]

6. Generate Correlation Report

Compare means across 2+ STDF files merged in a single CSV:

bash

stdf-reader correlation <csv_file(s)> [-o output.xlsx]

7. Generate Site-to-Site Correlation

Compare test data across different test sites:

bash

stdf-reader s2s <csv_file(s)> [-o output.xlsx] [--cherry-pick "1,3,5"]

Options:

```
--cherry-pick "1,3,5"
```
— Site numbers to pick, comma-separated

8. Generate PDF Charts

Generate PDF with trendline + histogram charts for selected tests:

bash

# By regex pattern
stdf-reader pdf <csv_file> --regex "IDD.*"

# All tests
stdf-reader pdf <csv_file> --all

# Specific tests
stdf-reader pdf <csv_file> --tests "210 - IDD_Static <> curr"

Options:

```
--no-limits
```
— Don't plot failure limit lines
```
--group-by-file
```
— Group trends by file instead of by site

9. Extract Sub-CSV

Extract only specific tests from a CSV file:

bash

stdf-reader extract-tests <csv_file> --regex "VDD.*"

10. List Tests

List all test instances in a CSV file:

bash

stdf-reader list-tests <csv_file>
stdf-reader list-tests <csv_file> --filter "IDD.*"

11. Transpose CSV

Swap rows and columns in a CSV file:

bash

stdf-reader transpose <csv_file>

Typical Workflow

Convert STDF to CSV:
```
convert-csv input.stdf
```
List available tests:
```
list-tests input.stdf_csv_log.csv
```
Report:
```
report input.stdf_csv_log.csv
```

PDF charts:

pdf input.stdf_csv_log.csv --regex "pattern"

```

All outputs default to the same directory as the input unless

-o

is specified.
