What is a TMA file?

TMA files mostly belong to Inova Wafermap. TMA files are used in the semiconductor industry as internal wafer map data files.
This file type stores detailed mapping information from semiconductor wafers. It contains data such as coordinates, measurement points, and defect locations that are crucial for quality control in wafer fabrication. Companies like Inova Semiconductor use this proprietary format to monitor and analyze wafer performance and yield.
Key Points as outlined by FilExt.com:

Stores precise mapping data of semiconductor wafers.

Includes measurement and defect data essential for quality assessment.

Operates as an internal format not designed for general use.

FilExt.com note: If you have a TMA file, you will need specialized wafer map analysis software to view and interpret the data. Generic text editors or common data viewers will not correctly display the detailed measurement information in these files.

How do you open TMA files?

You need a suitable software like Inova Wafermap to open a TMA file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your TMA file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a TMA file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

TMA format details:

If you can determine the file format, the associated program can also be determined. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes". The signature can be used to infer the file format. If the file extension does not match the file format, double-clicking on the file will cause an error upon opening. Knowledge is power - this also applies when dealing with unknown or faulty files. Below you will find our evaluation of the TMA files:

The TMA file extension is not common and is used by different programs with different formats. The two most common formats are as follows:

• 50% of all TMA files start with the bytes WAFER_MAP = { crucial for this file format. The contents of these files are easily readable with a text editor. The file size is in the range of 65 KB to 65 KB. The file type was created recently. The files contain the following words: CUSTOMER_NAME = "ASSEMBLY", FLAT_NOTCH = D, FORMAT_REVISION = "INOVA FORMAT", MAP_TYPE = "ASCII", NULL_BIN = ".", ROWS = 287, WAFER_MAP = {, Wafer_ID, COLUMNS = 225, SUPPLIER_NAME = "INOVA and 7IVV38814. These files are often associated with inlc.

All other TMA files (50%) have no uniform format. They are often associated with bspd. If you want to find out which format your TMA file belongs to, just click on the button "Choose your .tma file to analyze".
