Abstract: Methods and systems for reducing substrate particle scratching using machine learning are provided. A machine learning model is trained to predict process recipe settings for a substrate temperature control process to be performed for a current substrate at a manufacturing system. First training data and second training data are generated for the machine learning model. The first training data includes historical data associated with prior process recipe settings for a prior substrate temperature control process performed for a prior substrate at a prior process chamber. The second training data is associated with a historical scratch profile of one or more surfaces of the prior substrate after performance of the prior substrate temperature control process according to the prior process recipe settings. The first training data and the second training data are provided to train the machine learning model to predict which process recipe settings for the substrate temperature control process to be performed for the current substrate correspond to a target scratch profile for one or more surfaces of the current substrate.

Abstract: A first selection of a first fabrication process and/or first manufacturing equipment to perform manufacturing operations of the first fabrication process is received. The first selection is input into a digital replica of the first manufacturing equipment, where the digital replica outputs physical conditions of the first fabrication process. Environmental resource usage data indicative of a first environmental resource consumption of the first fabrication process run on the first manufacturing equipment based on the physical conditions of the first fabrication process is determined. A modification to the first fabrication process that reduces the environmental resource consumption of the first fabrication process run on the first manufacturing equipment is determined. Applying the modification to the first fabrication and/or providing the modification for display by a graphical user interface (GUI) is performed.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to a susceptor for thermal processing of semiconductor substrates. In one embodiment, the susceptor includes a first rim, an inner region coupled to and surrounded by the first rim, and one or more annular protrusions formed on the inner region. The one or more annular protrusions may be formed on the inner region at a location corresponding to the location where a valley is formed on the substrate, and the one or more annular protrusions help reduce or eliminate the formation of the valley.

Abstract: A method includes receiving measurement data from multiple sensors positioned along a delivery line that delivers a liquid as a gas to one of a gas panel or a processing chamber; simulating, using a computer-generated model, one or more process parameters associated with the delivery line and a plurality of heater jackets positioned around the delivery line; comparing the measurement data with values of the one or more process parameters; and determining, based on at least a threshold deviation between the measurement data and the values of the one or more process parameters, that a fault exists that is associated with maintaining temperature within the delivery line consistent with a gaseous state of the liquid.

Abstract: Technologies directed to cooling flow according to predicted cooling parameters for substrate processing are described. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving first data indicative of a process recipe for processing a substrate in a processing chamber of a substrate processing system. The method further includes inputting the first data into a model. The model includes a digital twin configured to represent thermal characteristics of the processing chamber. The method further includes receiving, via the model, a predicted value of a parameter associated with a flow of coolant through a cooling loop of the processing chamber. The method further includes causing coolant to flow through the cooling loop based on the predicted value of the parameter during execution of the process recipe in the processing chamber.
