摘要:
A controller and a method of controlling a process tool is provided, in which machine constants used for calibrating manipulated variables of the control algorithm are explicitly introduced into the process model, thereby providing an enhanced controller behavior immediately after the introduction of new measurement values of the machine constants.

By controlling the flow rate of one or more gaseous components of an etch ambient during the formation of metal lines and vias on the basis of feedback measurement data from critical dimensions, process variations may be reduced, thereby enhancing performance and reliability of the respective metallization structure.
摘要:
A method is for repairing and/or modifying component parts of a gas turbine. First, at least one, particularly damaged section of the component part that is to be repaired is cut out of the component part. In addition, if it does not exist, a data record is generated for a replacement part that is to be produced. The replacement part is subsequently produced with the aid of a rapid manufacturing process. Subsequently, the replacement part produced is integrated into the component part that is to be repaired.

摘要:
A profile (9) which can be connected to a cover (4) serves to fasten the cover (4) on a supporting body (2). According to the invention, it is provided that the profile has a recess (17) for receiving a connecting region, in particular a seam (6), of cover segments (5.1, 5.2) of an at least two-piece cover.
摘要:
A method for estimating a state associated with a process includes receiving a state observation associated with the process. The state observation has an associated process time. A weighting factor to discount the state observation is generated based on the process time. A state estimate is generated based on the discounted state observation. A system includes a process tool, a metrology tool, and a process controller. The process tool is operable to perform a process in accordance with an operating recipe. The metrology tool is operable to generate a state observation associated with the process. The process controller is operable to receive the state observation, the state observation having an associated process time, generate a weighting factor to discount the state observation based on the process time, generate a state estimate based on the discounted state observation, and determine at least one parameter of the operating recipe based on the state estimate.

摘要:
An APC controller is configured to operate on a segregated data structure during its normal operation and to establish a control state during an initializing event for a non-initialized manufacturing context on the basis of other initialized or non-initialized manufacturing contexts. Thus, the processing of pilot substrates may be reduced or the processing of the pilot substrates may be initiated on the basis of reliably established process parameters.
