Wafer-level performance prediction has been attracting attention to reduce measurement costs without compromising test quality in production tests. Although several efficient methods have been proposed, the site-to-site variation, which is often observed in multi-site testing for radio frequency circuits, has not yet been sufficiently addressed. In this paper, we propose a wafer-level performance prediction method for multi-site testing that can consider the site-to-site variation. The proposed method is based on the Gaussian process, which is widely used for wafer-level spatial correlation modeling, improving the prediction accuracy by extending hierarchical modeling to exploit the test site information provided by test engineers. In addition, we propose an active test-site sampling method to maximize measurement cost reduction. Through experiments using industrial production test data, we demonstrate that the proposed method can reduce the estimation error to 1/19 of that obtained using a conventional method. Moreover, we demonstrate that the proposed sampling method can reduce the number of the measurements by 97 achieving sufficient estimation accuracy.
