Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of data analysis and statistical process control, and particularly relates to a method for outlier screening and control limit determination of limited single variable reliability data based on normal quantile. BACKGROUND

[0002] In statistical data analysis, outliers are data points that deviate significantly from the overall distribution of the data set, usually representing unusually high or low values that are inconsistent with the general pattern. The existence of outliers may be caused by inherent variability, measurement errors, or may indicate novel or rare phenomena. Outliers are encountered in various types of data, including single variable, multivariate, time series, and spatial data sets. In the research and manufacturing process of integrated circuits, the analysis of reliability test data is crucial. Accurate identification of outliers and setting of control limits for statistical process control charts is a key step in monitoring process stability and ensuring product quality.

[0003] Currently, commonly used outlier detection methods such as Z-score method and interquartile range method are usually based on the assumption that the data follows a normal distribution. However, the reliability data collected in actual industrial environments often has characteristics such as limited sample size, high cost, and complex distribution form (such as non-normal, skewed, and multimodal), which severely limits the applicability and accuracy of traditional methods.

[0004] For non-normal distribution data, theoretically, a parameterized method can be used, i.e., first fitting the data to a specific known distribution, and then calculating the control limit based on the parameters of the distribution. However, this method requires the use of professional statistical software and the user to have corresponding statistical modeling knowledge, which is difficult to popularize in most manufacturing enterprises' engineering practice. In addition, for complex distribution forms such as multimodal, it is difficult to effectively model even with advanced statistical tools. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a simple, practical, and complex distribution assumption-free method that can be implemented on widely used general tools to effectively screen outliers and determine control limits for limited single variable reliability data.

[0005] The above content is only used to assist in understanding the technical solutions of the present application and does not represent an acknowledgement of the above content as prior art. SUMMARY

[0020] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the application and are not intended to limit the application.

[0021] The embodiment of the application provides an abnormal value screening and control limit determination method for normal quantile-based finite single variable reliability data. Figure 1 , Figure 1 The flowchart of the first embodiment of the abnormal value screening and control limit determination method for normal quantile-based finite single variable reliability data of the application.

[0022] In the embodiment, the abnormal value screening and control limit determination method for normal quantile-based finite single variable reliability data comprises the following steps. Step S10: acquiring a finite single variable reliability data set to be analyzed.

[0023] In the embodiment, the execution subject of the embodiment is an abnormal value screening and control limit determination device for normal quantile-based finite single variable reliability data, wherein the abnormal value screening and control limit determination device for normal quantile-based finite single variable reliability data has functions of data processing, data communication and program running, and can be a computer terminal device or other network device, and of course can also be other devices with similar functions, and the embodiment does not limit this.

[0024] In statistical data analysis, outliers are data points that deviate significantly from the overall distribution of the dataset, often representing unusually high or low values that do not align with the general pattern. The presence of outliers can be caused by inherent variability, measurement errors, or can indicate novel or rare phenomena. Outliers are encountered in various types of data, including univariate, multivariate, time series, and spatial datasets. In the research and manufacturing process of integrated circuits, the analysis of reliability test data is crucial. Accurate identification of outliers and setting of control limits for statistical process control charts is a key step in monitoring process stability and ensuring product quality. Currently, commonly used outlier detection methods such as Z-score method and interquartile range method are usually based on the assumption that the data follows a normal distribution. However, the reliability data collected in actual industrial environments often has characteristics such as limited sample size, high cost, and complex distribution form (such as non-normal, skewed, and multimodal), which severely limits the applicability and accuracy of traditional methods. For non-normal distributed data, theoretically, parameterized methods can be used, i.e., first fitting the data to a specific known distribution, and then calculating the control limit based on the parameters of the distribution. However, this method requires the use of professional statistical software and the user to have corresponding statistical modeling knowledge, which is difficult to popularize in most manufacturing enterprises' engineering practice. In addition, for complex distribution forms such as multimodal, it is difficult to effectively model even with advanced statistical tools. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a simple, practical, and distribution-free method that can be implemented on widely used general tools by engineers to effectively screen outliers and determine control limits for limited univariate reliability data.

[0025] To solve the above technical problems, in the embodiment, a limited univariate reliability dataset to be analyzed is obtained; the limited univariate reliability dataset is sorted in an Excel environment, and the empirical cumulative distribution function value of each data point is calculated based on the sorted limited univariate reliability dataset; the standard normal distribution quantile corresponding to each empirical cumulative distribution function value is calculated in Excel; a functional relationship model between the standard normal distribution quantile and the observation value of the sorted limited univariate reliability dataset is established; the target cumulative distribution function value is substituted into the functional relationship model, and the extreme quantile is calculated by extrapolation. The above method can effectively handle data with normal, non-normal, and even multimodal distributions without using complex and expensive professional statistical software, significantly reducing the technical threshold and implementation cost of statistical process control. Specifically, the method can be implemented as follows.

[0026] It should be noted that the method proposed in the embodiment has the following core innovations: 1. No distribution assumption: By using the empirical cumulative distribution function (CDF) combined with linear extrapolation technology, the extreme quantiles (such as 0.00135 and 0.99865 quantile points) are directly estimated without relying on data distribution assumptions or complex parameter fitting.

[0027] 2. Excel standardization: Only need to sort data, calculate empirical CDF (formula: ) and call built-in function NORM.S.INV() to complete normal quantile conversion and linear regression extrapolation, reducing the dependence on statistical software.

[0028] 3. Small sample adaptability: For limited sample size scenarios, such as 741 (i.e. 1 / 0.00135), the extrapolation model is constructed by selecting high and low end data points (such as the first / last 10 points), solving the problem of invalidation of traditional quantile method. The accuracy of the forecast is related to the size of the limited sample. The larger the sample, the smaller the error.

[0029] 4. Multi-modal compatibility: Can handle complex distribution patterns (such as gamma distribution, multi-modal data), with an error of ≤8.8% under actual gamma data, meeting the industrial precision requirements.

[0030] This method significantly simplifies the outlier screening and SPC control limit setting process of reliability data (such as electromigration failure time and leakage current data in IC manufacturing).

[0031] In a specific implementation, in the embodiment, a limited univariate reliability data set to be analyzed needs to be obtained first. When the sample size of the data set is large enough, it becomes feasible to directly identify the quantile corresponding to the extreme low and high cumulative distribution function (CDF) values. For example, if the sample size N exceeds the threshold value 1 / N0, the quantile at 1 / N0 can be easily observed or solved using simple interpolation. Specifically, for the CDF values of 0.00135 and 0.99865 (usually used for screening limit determination), if the sample size is equal to 1 / 0.00135≈741, the minimum and maximum data points can be used as the estimates of the quantile (0.00135) and the quantile (0.99865), respectively. However, when the sample size is less than 741, alternative methods are needed to predict these extreme quantiles. To illustrate this point, a sample of 400 normally distributed data points is used to estimate the quantile (0.00135) and the quantile (0.99865). For this sample, the empirical CDF of the minimum value is approximately 1 / (400+1)=0.002494, and the empirical CDF of the maximum value is approximately 400 / 401=0.997506. That is, in actual applications, the limited univariate reliability data set to be analyzed can be a sample of 400 normally distributed data points.

[0032] Step S20: Sort the limited univariate reliability data set, and calculate the empirical cumulative distribution function value of each data point based on the sorted limited univariate reliability data set.

[0033] In a specific implementation, no complex statistical software is required in the embodiment, and Excel can be used, so the limited single-variable reliability data set needs to be sorted in the Excel environment in the embodiment, the sorting can be in ascending order, and then the empirical cumulative distribution function of each data point is calculated by using the data set after sorting.

[0034] It should be noted that the empirical CDF value F(t) and the corresponding NORM.S.INV(F(t)) value are shown in Table 1 (the first 20 data points) and Table 2 (the last 20 data points).

[0035] Table 1:

[0036] Table 2:

[0037] The empirical cumulative distribution function value F(t) is calculated by the formula F(t) = i / (N + 1), where i is the ranking of each data point in the sorted limited single-variable reliability data set, and N is the total sample size of the sorted limited single-variable reliability data set.

[0038] Further, the probability graph of 400 normal distribution data points drawn by Excel can be specifically referred to as shown in Figure 2

[0039] Step S30: Calculate the standard normal distribution quantile corresponding to each empirical cumulative distribution function value.

[0040] Step S40: Establish a function relationship model between the standard normal distribution quantile and the observation value of the sorted limited single-variable reliability data set.

[0041] Step S50: Substitute the target cumulative distribution function value into the function relationship model to extrapolate and calculate the extreme quantile.

[0042] In a specific implementation, after fitting based on the probability graph of the normal distribution data points in the above steps, Y = NORM.S.INV(F(t)) = 0.02718 + 0.966287t is obtained, where NORM.S.INV(F(t)) is the standard normal distribution quantile, and after rearrangement, the following can be obtained . Where t can be regarded as an estimated quantile corresponding to F(t).

[0043] ​It should be noted that the function relationship model in the embodiment is constructed in any one of the following ways: regression analysis is performed on all data points; at least two representative data points are selected, and a linear proportional relationship is established based on the coordinate values of the representative data points; or regression analysis is performed on part of the data points at the high end and / or low end of the data, respectively. The regression analysis on all data points is used for data that is normally distributed, the selection of at least two representative data points and the establishment of a linear proportional relationship based on the coordinate values of the representative data points is a non-distributed method, and the regression analysis on part of the data points at the high end and / or low end of the data is used for data that is not normally distributed.

[0044] The above method is regression analysis on all data points. For this method, the target cumulative distribution function values include the target high-end cumulative distribution function value and the target low-end cumulative distribution function value. Based on the above formula, that is, F(t) = 0.99865 and F(t) = 0.00135, finally, for F(t) = 0.99865, NORM.S.INV(0.99865) ≈ 3.000, it is obtained that:

[0045] For F(t) = 0.00135, NORM.S.INV(0.00135) ≈ -3.000, it is obtained that:

[0046] The t calculated above is the final extreme quantile, which is used as an abnormal value screening and control limit.

[0047] In an embodiment, a linear extrapolation method can also be used in the embodiment, in which two points are selected from the low end and the high end to define a linear relationship, as shown in Table 3, in which two points are selected from the low end and the high end (selected from Table 1 and Table 2).

[0048] Table 3:

[0049] In this way, the linear proportional relationship is: quantile(F3) = quantile(F1) + k * [quantile(F2) - quantile(F1)], that is, Quantile(F3) = Quantile(F1) + k * (Quantile(F2) - Quantile(F1)). Assuming linearity, the relationship between the quantile and its corresponding NORM. In the embodiment, the NORM.S.INV value can be expressed as:

[0050] For the estimated quantile (0.99865): F1=0.49875, F2=0.997506, and F3=0.99865.

[0051] Calculate k1: k1=( ) / ( )

[0052] Thus: Quantile(0.99865)=-0.0661+1.06836x(2.8735+0.0661)=3.07442.

[0053] The estimated quantile (0.00135): F1=0.49875, F2=0.002494, and F3=0.00135.

[0054] Calculate k2: k2= =1.06851 Thus: Quantile(0.00135)=-0.0661+1.06851x(-3.0288+0.0661)=-3.2318.

[0055] The above Quantile(0.99865) and Quantile(0.00135) are the final extreme quantiles, which are used as the outlier screening and control limits.

[0056] In an embodiment, the final quantiles can also be determined by performing regression analysis on the partial data points at the high end and / or low end of the data, respectively. Assuming that the data set is not normally distributed, the empirical CDF values and their corresponding NORM.S.INV(F(t)) values (Table 4 and Table 5) can be obtained, and NORM.S.INV(F(t)) and its observed values are plotted in Figure 3 Table 4 shows the first 15 ordered empirical F(t) and NORM.S.INV(F(t)). Table 5 shows the last 15 ordered empirical F(t) and NORM.S.INV(F(t)).

[0057] Table 4:

[0058] Table 5:

[0059] The regression analysis of the data points at the high end and / or low end of the data is performed for the prediction of the high-end extreme quantile, using the last M data points after sorting for fitting, and for the prediction of the low-end extreme quantile, using the first K data points after sorting for fitting, where M and K are positive integers set according to the sample size and accuracy requirements. Referring to Tables 4 and 5, the lowest ranked data point (1597.77) corresponds to an empirical CDF of 0.00249, which is higher than 0.00135, and the highest ranked data point (47628.95) corresponds to an empirical CDF of 0.9975, which is lower than 0.99865. Therefore, extrapolation is needed to estimate the required quantile.

[0060] In estimating the quantile (0.99865), linear regression is performed in Excel using the top 10 data points, resulting in the following formula: NORM.S.INV(F) = 0.39225 + 4.67x10-05*t.

[0061] Substituting NORM.S.INV(0.99865) = 3.0000, the extrapolated quantile is:

[0062] In estimating the quantile (0.00135), the lowest 10 data points are used to fit a quadratic curve in Excel, described as follows:

[0063] Substituting NORM.S.INV(0.00135) = -3.0000, the quadratic equation gives: t(F = 0.00135) ≈ 965 The t calculated above is the final extreme quantile, which is used as the control limit for outlier screening and control.

[0064] The target CDF values mentioned above, i.e., the target high-end cumulative distribution function value 0.99865 and the target low-end cumulative distribution function value 0.00135, are only for illustration and can be adjusted based on engineering requirements, including but not limited to 0.00135, 0.99865 quantile points, which are not limited in this embodiment.

[0065] The quantiles in the above steps are applicable to outlier identification in reliability test data; control limit setting for single-value control charts in statistical process control (SPC). The entire method can be automatically executed: integrated into yield analysis software through scripts, macros, or plug-ins.

[0066] In this embodiment, a finite univariate reliability dataset to be analyzed is obtained; the finite univariate reliability dataset is sorted, and the empirical cumulative distribution function value of each data point is calculated based on the sorted finite univariate reliability dataset; the standard normal distribution quantile corresponding to each empirical cumulative distribution function value is calculated; a functional relationship model between the standard normal distribution quantile and the observed values ​​of the sorted finite univariate reliability dataset is established, and the target cumulative distribution function value is substituted into the functional relationship model to extrapolate and obtain the extreme quantile. The above method can effectively handle data with normal, non-normal, and even multimodal distributions.

[0067] Furthermore, this embodiment of the invention also proposes a storage medium storing an outlier screening and control limit determination program for finite univariate reliability data based on normal quantiles. When the outlier screening and control limit determination program for finite univariate reliability data based on normal quantiles is executed by a processor, it implements the steps of the outlier screening and control limit determination method for finite univariate reliability data based on normal quantiles as described above.

[0068] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a structural block diagram of the first embodiment of the outlier screening and control limit determination device for finite univariate reliability data based on normal quantiles of the present invention.

The computing module 20 is configured to substitute the target cumulative distribution function value into the function relationship model to extrapolate and calculate an extreme quantile, and the extreme quantile is used as an abnormal value screening and control limit.

[0071] In some embodiments, the empirical cumulative distribution function value F(t) is calculated by the formula F(t) = i / (N + 1), where i is the ranking of each data point in the sorted limited single-variable reliability data set, and N is the total sample size of the sorted limited single-variable reliability data set.

[0072] In some embodiments, the regression analysis is linear regression or nonlinear regression, and the nonlinear regression is quadratic polynomial regression.
