Abstract

A semiconductor device analysis method is provided, comprising: a training data collection step, which acquires at least one training data set, including at least one characteristic parameter, and time series data of the at least one characteristic parameter measured at fixed time intervals in a first time period and a second time period longer than the first time period; a model training step, which trains an artificial intelligence model based on the training data to learn the pattern of the characteristic parameter changing over time; an input data acquisition step, which acquires the time series data of the characteristic parameter measured in the first time period of the new plan when the semiconductor device is used in the new plan, as input data; and a prediction generation step, which inputs the input data into the trained artificial intelligence model, and the artificial intelligence model generates a predicted time series data of the characteristic parameter of the second time period of the new plan.
