    Abstract: A process development visualization tool generates a first visualization of a parameter associated with a manufacturing process, and provides a GUI control element associated with a process variable of the manufacturing process, wherein the GUI control element has a first setting associated with a first value for the process variable. The process development tool receives a user input to adjust the GUI control element from the first setting to a second setting, determines a second value for the process variable based on the second setting, and determines a second set of values for the parameter that are associated with the second value for the process variable. The process development tool then generates a second visualization of the parameter, wherein the second visualization represents the second set of values for the parameter that are associated with the second value for the process variable.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for operating a plasma processing chamber includes performing a plasma process at a process pressure and a pressure power to generate a plasma. A first ramping-down stage starts in which the process power and the process pressure are ramped down substantially simultaneously to an intermediate power level and an intermediate pressure level, respectively. The intermediate power level and intermediate pressure level are preselected so as to raise a plasma sheath boundary above a threshold height from a surface of a substrate. A purge gas is flowed from a showerhead assembly at a sufficiently high rate to sweep away contaminant particles trapped in the plasma such that one or more contaminant particles move outwardly of an edge of the substrate. A second ramping-down stage starts where the intermediate power level and the intermediate pressure level decline to a zero level and a base pressure, respectively.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable medium are described for sensor metrology data integration. A method includes receiving sets of sensor data and sets of metrology data. Each set of sensor data includes corresponding sensor values associated with producing corresponding product by manufacturing equipment and a corresponding sensor data identifier. Each set of metrology data includes corresponding metrology values associated with the corresponding product manufactured by the manufacturing equipment and a corresponding metrology data identifier. The method further includes determining common portions between each corresponding sensor data identifier and each corresponding metrology data identifier. The method further includes, for each of the sensor-metrology matches, generating a corresponding set of aggregated sensor-metrology data and storing the sets of aggregated sensor-metrology data to train a machine learning model. The trained machine learning model is capable of generating one or more outputs for performing a corrective action associated with the manufacturing equipment.
