- Parse and analyze STDF (Standard Test Data Format) semiconductor test files. Convert STDF to CSV/XLSX, generate analysis reports, correlation reports, PDF charts, and extract specific test data.
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+):
pip install stdf-readerUse the virtual environment for running any commands:
source .venv/bin/activateAvailable Commands
1. Convert STDF to CSV (most common)
Parse one or more STDF files into a CSV log for analysis:
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:
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.csv2. Convert STDF to XLSX
Parse STDF file into a formatted Excel table (shows all record types):
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:
stdf-reader convert-diag <stdf_file>4. Extract Single Record Type
Extract a specific STDF record type (DTR, GDR, TSR) to CSV:
stdf-reader extract-record <stdf_file> --type DTR5. Generate Analysis Report
Generate comprehensive XLSX report from CSV (includes data statistics, bin summary, wafer map):
stdf-reader report <csv_file(s)> [-o output.xlsx]6. Generate Correlation Report
Compare means across 2+ STDF files merged in a single CSV:
stdf-reader correlation <csv_file(s)> [-o output.xlsx]7. Generate Site-to-Site Correlation
Compare test data across different test sites:
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:
# 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:
stdf-reader extract-tests <csv_file> --regex "VDD.*"10. List Tests
List all test instances in a CSV file:
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:
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"
