A wafer map is a visual or data record showing the spatial distribution of good, bad, or tested dies across a semiconductor wafer, often stored as an electronic file used by test and inspection systems. In production documentation it appears in yield reports, wafer-sort records, and failure analysis summaries where bin codes, defect locations, and edge exclusions are displayed.

Wafer map appears in yield reports, wafer-sort summaries, defect density charts, and failure analysis presentations. Translators encounter it when localizing test system screens, quality dashboards, and customer return reports, where map legends, bin codes, and coordinate labels must remain consistent with the source image and any exported CSV headings.
A common mistake is translating wafer map as wafer mapping or mapping wafer, turning a discrete deliverable into a process. Another issue is weakening spatial labels such as edge die, scribe line, and coordinate references, which makes it harder for engineers to locate failures on the physical wafer during yield or return analysis.
Technical terms need checking against the source, approved product terminology and related specifications. Keep units, parameter conditions and document versions aligned across the file set.
Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
