ABSTRACT:
Recipe steps of a manufacturing process run that generated a fault are displayed in a current view of a user interface, the recipe steps being displayed in association with a first axis. At least one of measured parameters or calculated parameters of the manufacturing process run are displayed in the current view, where at least one of the measured parameters and the calculated parameters are displayed in association with a second axis. A plurality of intersections of the recipe steps with at least one of the measured parameters or the calculated parameters are displayed in the current view, each of the plurality of intersections including a representation of a fault contribution attributable to at least one of a distinct measured parameter or a distinct calculated parameter at a distinct recipe step.
