    摘要: The present invention generally relates to the monitoring and controlling of a semiconductor manufacturing environment and, more particularly, to methods and systems for virtual meteorology (VM) applications based on data from multiple tools having heterogeneous relatedness. The methods and systems leverage the natural relationship of the multiple tools and take advantage of the relationship embedded in process variables to improve the prediction performance of the VM predictive wafer quality modeling. The prediction results of the methods and systems can be used as a substitute for or in conjunction with actual metrology samples in order to monitor and control a semiconductor manufacturing environment, and thus reduce delays and costs associated with obtaining actual physical measurements.

    摘要: An apparatus for performing run-to-run control and sampling optimization in a semiconductor manufacturing process includes at least one control module. The control module is operative: to determine a process output and corresponding metrology error associated with an actual metrology for a current processing run in the semiconductor manufacturing process; to determine a predicted process output and corresponding prediction error associated with a virtual metrology for the current processing run; and to control at least one parameter corresponding to a subsequent processing run as a function of the metrology error and the prediction error.

    摘要: Time series data can be received. A machine learning model can be trained using the time series data. A contaminating process can be estimated based on the time series data, the contaminating process including outliers associated with the time series data. A parameter associated with the contaminating process can be determined. Based on the trained machine learning model and the parameter associated with the contaminating process, a single-valued metric can be determined, which represents an impact of the contaminating process on the machine learning model's future prediction. A plurality of different outlier detecting machine learning models can be used to estimate the contaminating process and the single-valued metric can be determined for each of the plurality of different outlier detecting machine learning models. The plurality of different outlier detecting machine learning models can be ranked according to the associated single-valued metric.
