Die Per Wafer Calculator

Estimate usable dies per wafer using advanced edge-exclusion algorithms, scribe-line optimization, and die-size scaling across 200mm to 450mm wafers. Analyze manufacturing efficiency, reticle utilization, and output potential with support for rectangular dies, multi-project wafers, and defect-cluster-aware yield mapping.
