Methods and systems for adaptively controlling process parameters in semiconductor manufacturing equipment. An embodiment provides for gain scheduling of PID controllers across recipe steps. One embodiment provides a method for controlling a chuck temperature during a semiconductor manufacturing process, the method employing a first set of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) values in a PID controller to control the chuck temperature at a first setpoint in a first step of a process recipe and employing a second set of PID values in the PID controller to control the chuck temperature at a second setpoint, different than the first setpoint, in a second step of the process recipe. The methods and systems provide reduced controller response times where process parameter setpoint between steps of a process recipe span a wide range.

Methods and systems for controlling temperatures in plasma processing chamber with reduced controller response times and increased stability. Temperature control is based at least in part on a feedforward control signal derived from a plasma power input into the processing chamber. A feedforward control signal compensating disturbances in the temperature attributable to the plasma power may be combined with a feedback control signal counteracting error between a measured and desired temperature.

The application introduces the technology of Internet of Things into field of attire design, and creates a communicative and sensitive device: the composite and convertible attire with network communication and intelligent sensitive features, referred to as COMS Attire, its purpose is to liberate mobile devices from “hand-held” mode, and use the convertibility of attire to protect and enhance intelligent elements. Attire is big in size, large in capacity, deformable in shape, attachable and detachable in structure, and its carried items can be exposed and concealed at will. Attire is a daily necessity in people's lives, and the most suitable place for development of new generation of mobile intelligent device to replace the miniaturized traditional mobile one; the technical achievements of hardware “miniaturization” make COMS attire more intelligent, more fashionable and popular with users. COMS attire increases the choice of chip types, and expands the installation space of intelligent components.

An advanced temperature control system and method are described for a wafer carrier in a plasma processing chamber. In one example a heat exchanger provides a temperature controlled thermal fluid to a fluid channel of a workpiece carrier and receives the thermal fluid from the fluid channel. A proportional valve is between the heat exchanger and the fluid channel to control the rate of flow of thermal fluid from the heat exchanger to the fluid channel. A pneumatic valve is also between the heat exchanger and the fluid channel also to control the rate of flow of thermal fluid from the heat exchanger and the fluid channel. A temperature controller receives a measured temperature from a thermal sensor of the carrier and controls the proportional valve and the pneumatic valve in response to the measured temperature to adjust the rate of flow of the thermal fluid.

The present invention provides a method and system for determining whether a genomic abnormality exists. The method for determining whether a genomic abnormality exists includes the steps of: separating fetal nucleated red blood cells from a sample from a pregnant woman; sequencing at least a part of the genome of the nucleated red blood cells, so as to obtain a sequencing result; and on the basis of the sequencing result, determining whether a genomic abnormality exists in the nucleated red blood cells.
摘要:
A method, a system and a computer readable medium for integrated in-vacuo repair of low-k dielectric thin films damaged by etch and/or strip processing. A repair chamber is integrated onto a same platform as a plasma etch and/or strip chamber to repair a low-k dielectric thin film without breaking vacuum between the damage event and the repair event. UV radiation may be provided on the integrated etch/repair platform in any combination of before, after, or during the low-k repair treatment to increase efficacy of the repair treatment and/or stability of repair.
