    摘要: One embodiment relates to a computer method for aligning wafers processed in a semiconductor fabrication facility. In the method, a first arrangement of dies having a common functionality level is identified on a first wafer. A first alignment signature is assigned to the first wafer based on the first arrangement. A second arrangement of dies having the common functionality level is identified on a second wafer. A second alignment signature is assigned to the second wafer based on the second arrangement. The first alignment signature is compared to the second alignment signature, and the first and second wafers are selectively aligned based on a result of the comparison. Other systems and methods are also disclosed.

    摘要: Methods and apparatuses for manufacturing photovoltaic products include an assessment of each product in a production line for suitability, and assigning a grade based either on assessment of the product at that step, comparison to statistical analysis of assessment results of previous products at that step or comparison of previous assessment results of past steps compared to statistical analysis of cumulative assessment results of past products at those steps. Products can be associated into groups for processing as a group based on the grades and downstream equipment can be adjusted based on the grade of the group to bring the group within determined tolerances.

    摘要: A target value that serves as a control value with feed forward control is optimized. A TL performs a feed forward and a feedback control of a PM. A storage unit stores a plurality of recipes indicating different processing sequences, and a target value that serves as a control value when performing an etching process. A communication unit causes an IMM to measure a processing state of the wafer and receives measurement information. A computation unit computes a feedback value for the current wafer processed in the current cycle, based on pre-processing and post-processing measurement information for the wafer. An update unit updates the target value using the feedback value. A recipe adjustment unit changes the recipe to change the process performed in the same PM. When the process is performed after changing, the updated target value is used to perform feed forward control of the wafer in the same PM.
