[0002] The supervision of the chip production process is an essential link in semiconductor manufacturing. Its core purpose is to ensure product quality, performance, and reliability, while meeting market demands, regulatory requirements, and corporate strategic goals.
[0003] In the current environment, the supervision of chip production is relatively strict. Chip manufacturers determine the quality of chips through precise observation and testing before leaving the factory, and eliminate defective chips. However, this model is not perfect. In the existing environment, detecting and screening new products can ensure the usability of chips to a certain extent, but there is a lack of data mining for defective chips, and it is impossible to determine whether the abnormal operation of defective chips is entirely caused by the observed defects. Therefore, it is impossible to determine whether there are hidden defects, which is not conducive to fault discovery in the entire chip production line. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a supervision system and method for the chip production process based on the Internet of Things to solve the problems raised in the above background art.

The sequence number data is the position data of the current chip wafer in the current production line. Combine and transmit the data recorded for each chip wafer at each process segment on the production line to the database.
[0013] S102: When the chip data is stored in the database, use the stored sequence number data as the retrieval header tag in the chip library, and generate sub-clue tags by extending the header tag. Each sub-clue tag consists of the production operation type data of the chip and the implementation time period corresponding to the generated operation type. Use the header tag of each chip data as the header node, and the corresponding sub-clue tags as associated sub-nodes to generate corresponding element nodes, and comprehensively generate a data set of chip data for the current batch of chips by combining the element nodes of each chip in the current batch.

[0017] The S300 combines the surface defect feature vectors and electrical defect feature vectors of each chip to perform associated defect analysis, and determines the associated influence degree between the surface defects and electrical defects of the current chip according to the analysis results. The specific steps for performing double-defect judgment on the current chip based on the judgment results are as follows:
[0018] S301. Map the surface defect feature vectors of the corresponding chip and the electrical defect vectors to the same plane respectively to obtain the included angle data between each surface defect vector and each electrical defect vector; perform associated influence analysis on each surface defect with respect to each electrical defect in combination with the included angle data.
