Detecting latent defects and reducing defective parts per million (DPPM) are crucial for improving semiconductor test quality and reliability. Good Die in Bad Neighborhood (GDBN) identifies and eliminates potentially defective dies, even if they pass standard tests. We propose a multi-modal attention-based framework that uses wafer-level defect visual patterns along with numerical test parametric data to improve GDBN identification. Experiments using the industrial semiconductor wafer dataset WM-811K demonstrate multi-modal fusion with an attention-based model captures more test escapes & a 22 % greater reduction in DPPM compared to existing GDBN methods.
