摘要: Embodiments described herein relate to a system, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable mediums that accurately align subsequent patterned layers in a photoresist utilizing a deep learning model and utilizing device patterns to replace alignment marks in lithography processes. The deep learning model is trained to recognize unique device patterns called alignment patterns in the FOV of the camera. Cameras in the lithography system capture images of the alignment patterns. The deep learning model finds the alignment patterns in the field of view of the cameras. An ideal image generated from a design file is matched with the camera with respect to the center of the field of view of the camera. A shift model and a rotation model are output from the deep learning model to create an alignment model. The alignment model is applied to the currently printing layer.

摘要: A method for selecting patterns for training a model to predict patterns to be printed on a substrate. The method includes (a) obtaining images of multiple patterns, wherein the multiple patterns correspond to target patterns to be printed on a substrate; (b) grouping the images into a group of special patterns and multiple groups of main patterns; and (c) outputting a set of patterns based on the images as training data for training the model, wherein the set of patterns includes the group of special patterns and a representative main pattern from each group of main patterns.

摘要: A method and apparatus for training a defect location prediction model to predict a defect for a substrate location is disclosed. A number of datasets having data regarding process-related parameters for each location on a set of substrates is received. Some of the locations have partial datasets in which data regarding one or more process-related parameters is absent. The datasets are processed to generate multiple parameter groups having data for different sets of process-related parameters. For each parameter group, a sub-model of the defect location prediction model is created based on the corresponding set of process-related parameters and trained using data from the parameter group. A trained sub-model(s) may be selected based on process-related parameters available in a candidate dataset and a defect prediction may be generated for a location associated with the candidate dataset using the selected sub-model.

摘要: Variable setpoints and/or other factors may limit iterative learning control for moving components of an apparatus. The present disclosure describes a processor configured to control movement of a component of an apparatus with at least one prescribed movement. The processor is configured to receive a control input such as and/or including a variable setpoint. The control input indicates the at least one prescribed movement for the component. The processor is configured to determine, with a trained artificial neural network, based on the control input, a feedforward output for the component. The artificial neural network is pretrained with a training data set such that the artificial neural network determines the output regardless of whether or not the control input falls outside the training data set. The processor controls the component based on at least the output.

摘要: Method and apparatus for adapting a distribution model of a machine learning fabric. The distribution model is for mitigating the effect of concept drift, and is configured to provide an output as input to a functional model of the machine learning fabric. The functional model is for performing a machine learning task. The method may include obtaining a first data point, and providing the first data point as input to one or more distribution monitoring components of the distribution model. The one or more distribution monitoring components have been trained on a plurality of further data points. A metric representing a correspondence between the first data point and the plurality of further data points is determined, by at least one of the one or more distribution monitoring components. Based on the error metric, the output of the distribution model is adapted.
