Abstract: Broadly speaking, the present techniques provide a method and system for controlling a wafer production process in real-time using a trained machine learning, ML, model. Advantageously, the ML model uses multiple sensed parameters to determine a state of a plasma used in the wafer production process, and this can be used to adjust at least one control parameter of a plasma reactor used in the wafer production process to reduce process variability.

Abstract: A co-processor for performing a matrix multiplication of an input matrix with a data matrix in one step may be provided. The co-processor receives input signals for the input matrix as optical signals. A plurality of photonic memory elements is arranged at crossing points of an optical waveguide crossbar array. The plurality of memory elements is configured to store values of the data matrix. Input signals are connected to input lines of the optical waveguide crossbar array. Output lines of the optical waveguide crossbar array represent a dot-product between a respective column of the optical waveguide crossbar array and the received input signals, and values of elements of the input matrix to be multiplied with the data matrix correspond to light intensities received at input lines of the respective photonic memory elements. Additionally, different wavelengths are used for each column of the input matrix optical signals.
