    摘要: Methods and systems for controlling operation of a wind turbine. The method may comprise determining an alarm level for at least one component of the wind turbine. In the case that an alarm level for at least one component exceeds a predefined level, the method comprises estimating an expected remaining lifetime for the component under the current operating conditions, and controlling operation of the wind turbine in order to adjust the expected remaining lifetime for the component to a desired expected remaining lifetime for said component. Thereby, the expected remaining lifetime for the component can be prolonged until the next scheduled service event. Downtime of the wind turbine is considerably reduced, and unscheduled service events are avoided to the greatest possible extent. Mean time between inspections (MTBI) is also extended.

    摘要: Methods and systems for detecting wafer shift/slide in a semiconductor process chamber have been disclosed. The vibration amplitude is measured in terms of acceleration because an increase in vibrational acceleration correlates with an increase of displacement of a wafer. The vibration of a chamber is measured. External vibratory forces acting on the chamber may be transmitted to the wafer inside the chamber. The methods/systems determine if there is a net resultant force that may cause an unconstrained wafer to move from its original position in a chamber by measuring the relative chamber vibrations in three orthogonal directions. A tri-axial or three uni-axial accelerometers are mounted on a preferably exterior wall of the chamber to measure its vibration amplitude. The signal obtained as a function of time is then compared against a predetermined alarm amplitude to provide notification for corrective action.

    摘要: CMP pad conditioning processes have been monitored and controlled by detecting the vibrational spectrum of a sensor mounted on the conditioner support arm. An accelerometer is used as the detector so that vibrational velocity (which correlates with pad wear) can be measured, rather than displacement or acceleration. After the vibrational spectrum has been transformed to its frequency domain equivalent, it is monitored for the presence of abnormal peaks in order to control the conditioning process.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for use is described which permits real time monitoring of build-up of particulate contamination in a wafer processing chamber. The apparatus is capable of monitoring particle build up in regions of a processing chamber which are not accessible by traditional optical particle scanners. An accelerometer is fastened to a body in the chamber upon which particulates deposit. The body is subjected to vibrations and produces a vibration signal which is detected by the accelerometer. The signal is processed to form a frequency spectrum of vibration amplitudes. Frequencies in a selected band are directly proportional to the particulate build up on the body. The invention is applied to a wafer annealing tool with a rotatable platform wherein particles deposit on a support body under the wafer. The method and apparatus have been shown to be reliable and accurate as well as cost effective and easily implemented.
