[0027] The following will be a detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the technical field of the present invention can easily implement it. The present invention can be embodied in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.
[0028] As Figure 1 shows a schematic structural diagram of an AI edge computing platform for the Fab system in an embodiment of the present invention.
[0029] During the semiconductor wafer manufacturing process, the Fab system generates a large amount of business data, which is crucial for real-time monitoring of the production status, optimizing the production process, predicting equipment failures, etc. Traditional business data processing methods often rely on cloud servers. With the continuous development and update of individual latency-sensitive services such as artificial intelligence application programs, higher requirements are put forward for data volume, latency, and the controllability and security of data. Therefore, developing an AI-based edge computing platform has become an effective way to solve the computing performance problems of data-intensive tasks in the semiconductor manufacturing process.
[0030] The present invention is specifically designed for the Fab system. The Fab system, namely the Fabrication system, is the abbreviation of semiconductor manufacturing factories and their manufacturing processes. The purpose of the present invention is to optimize equipment performance and production processes through artificial intelligence means to improve overall operation efficiency. Each system in Fab includes: EAP system, YMS system, APC system, FDC system, MES system, SPC system, etc. These systems each undertake different business responsibilities and generate a large amount of business data in the process.
[0031] The AI edge computing platform is developed based on the business data processing requirements in each Fab system. The business data processing requirements in each Fab system include the requirements for the business data processing functions of each Fab system. It is deployed on the edge side of multiple machine tools in the wafer manufacturing factory, that is, at a position directly close to the data source. This deployment method can significantly reduce the latency of data transmission and improve the real-time performance of data processing. The platform is communicatively connected to each machine tool. The platform includes:
[0032] The machine tool data acquisition module 1, whose main responsibility is to accurately acquire the process parameter values of each machine tool in the semiconductor manufacturing factory (Fab system) according to the parameter requirements set by the user. This module is not only responsible for data collection but also undertakes the important task of data screening. In terms of data acquisition, the machine tool data acquisition module 1 captures key process parameters such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, time, etc. from each machine tool in real time and accurately according to the user parameter requirements. These parameters are crucial for understanding the state of the production process and product quality. The machine tool data acquisition module 1 also needs to strictly screen and filter the acquired data. It only screens data belonging to the normal wafer production link and meeting the high-quality wafer standards to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of subsequent analysis and optimization work. This screening mechanism helps to reduce the interference of noise data and improve the efficiency and accuracy of data processing.
[0033] The data analysis module 2, connected to the machine tool data acquisition module 1, is built-in with a variety of AI algorithm models with the functions of business data processing tasks in the Fab system. The data analysis module 2 uses the AI algorithm model selected according to the amount of data that the data analysis module needs to analyze and process to analyze and process the data output by the machine tool data acquisition module 1 to obtain an analysis result;
[0034] The data optimization module 3 is connected to the data analysis module 2. The data optimization module 3 dynamically adjusts the process parameter values of each machine tool device by using the analysis results, and feeds the adjusted process parameter values back to the user. This process aims to optimize the performance of the machine tool devices, improve production efficiency, and ensure that the produced wafers meet high-quality standards. By adjusting the process parameters in real time, the data optimization module 3 helps to reduce fluctuations and uncertainties in the production process, and improve the stability and controllability of the overall production line. In addition to adjusting the process parameters, the data optimization module 3 can also use the analysis results to compensate the Fab system index to optimize the model parameters of the algorithm model in the data analysis module. This step is to reflect the actual situation in the production process and ensure that the algorithm model in the data analysis module 2 can more accurately reflect the state of the production line. By compensating the Fab system index, it helps to improve the prediction ability and accuracy of the algorithm model, that is, by continuously adjusting and optimizing the model parameters, the data optimization module 3 can ensure that the algorithm model can more accurately predict and interpret the data changes in the production process, and improve the efficiency and accuracy of data analysis and optimization. It provides a more reliable basis for subsequent data analysis and optimization. In addition, the data optimization module 3 can also intelligently adjust the type of algorithm model used according to the amount of data to be processed by the data analysis module 2. This function helps to ensure that the data analysis module 2 can maintain efficient and accurate performance under different data scales. By dynamically selecting and optimizing the algorithm model, the data optimization module 3 helps to improve the flexibility and adaptability of the entire AI edge computing platform.
[0035] The present invention integrates edge computing and an artificial intelligence (AI) platform to optimize the computing performance of data-intensive tasks in an edge environment. By intelligently allocating tasks to a suitable AI edge computing platform and processing the data after edge computing, low-latency, low-power consumption, and low-cost transmission of Fab system data are achieved. This solution not only supports low-latency transmission and interaction of device process parameters, but also uses the model of the AI edge computing platform to analyze key parameters, optimize the process, and feed the results back to the user in real time. This innovation promotes the industrial digitalization and intelligentization process of the Fab system, significantly reduces the data transmission cost, and provides strong support for the transformation and upgrading of the semiconductor manufacturing industry.
[0036] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 , the machine tool data acquisition module 1 includes:
[0037] The user requirement data acquisition unit 101 is used to determine the user's parameter requirements and collect the process parameter values of each machine tool device based on the user's parameter requirements. Among them, the process parameter values include one or more of the temperature and humidity in the machine tool cavity, the liquid flow rate, and the gas concentration. These parameters are crucial for the wafer manufacturing process because they directly affect the product quality and production efficiency. The user requirement data acquisition unit 101 can implement the relevant business functions of the EAP system of the Fab system. The EAP system is a system specifically designed to achieve real-time monitoring and automated control of the machine tools in the Fab system.
[0038] The normal wafer production process screening unit 102 is connected to the user requirement data acquisition unit 101 and is used to screen the data of the normal wafer production process in the collected data by using an effective data cleaning method to eliminate the data of the R & D test process. For example, based on the data characteristics of the normal wafer production process and the R & D test process, the data of the normal wafer production process can be screened. Specifically, the data of the normal wafer production process can be screened according to the production plan and test plan time, the data-related identifiers of the production equipment and test equipment, and the formats of the production data and R & D test data.
[0039] The high-quality data screening unit 103 is connected to the normal wafer production process screening unit 102 and is used to screen the data without process problems in the screened data of the normal wafer production process by using a preprocessing method as the data meeting the high-quality standard. For example, the data with process problems can be screened by identifying the failure factors. The failure factor is the key factor that can cause process problems in the wafer production process. For example, the process problems close to the scrapped state and with large fluctuations can be judged according to the defect density, defect size, defect type, etc.
[0040] The data storage unit 104 is connected to the high-quality data screening unit 103 and is used to store the data meeting the high-quality standard screened by the high-quality data screening unit.
[0041] In an embodiment, the data analysis module 2 is an advanced artificial intelligence processing center integrated with the platform. This center deploys high-performance computing resources and advanced algorithm models and can receive and process the data of each Fab system in real time. The data is analyzed and processed through deep learning and machine learning technologies and regression prediction is performed, and the optimized solutions are fed back to different users to help users optimize the equipment performance and adjust the production plan in real time and comprehensively manage the production data.
[0042] The data analysis module 2 performs key parameter analysis on the data output by the machine data acquisition module by using a machine learning model or a deep learning model with the function of processing business data of each Fab system, and obtains the corresponding analysis results. For example, the key parameters are key parameters such as production progress, equipment status, and material consumption; the data analysis module 2 performs data processing by using a model selected according to the amount of data to be analyzed. The Fab systems mentioned here cover the YMS system, APC system, FDC system, MES system, and SPC system, and each system plays an important role in semiconductor production.
[0043] YMS system: Yield Management System, which is a system integrating data management, data analysis, and professional tools. It is mainly used in semiconductor manufacturing, packaging and testing, etc., especially in the mass production stage, which can help engineers greatly improve the data analysis efficiency, quickly analyze one or more types of data, find the key points to improve the yield, thereby promoting the stability and controllability of the entire production process, improving product quality, and reducing enterprise costs.
[0044] APC system: Advanced Process Control, which uses mathematical models and real-time data to precisely control the production process to improve product quality and production efficiency.
[0045] FDC system: Fault Detection and Classification system, which is used to monitor the equipment status in real time and diagnose faults.
[0046] MES system: Manufacturing Execution System is an indispensable part of semiconductor production. It is responsible for converting the production plan into specific production operations and monitoring the production progress and equipment status in real time.
[0047] SPC system: Statistical Process Control, which is a method of monitoring and controlling product quality by collecting and analyzing data in the production process. It is based on statistical principles, and by monitoring and predicting key parameters in the production process in real time, it helps enterprises to detect abnormal fluctuations in the production process in a timely manner, so as to take corresponding measures for adjustment and optimization.
[0048] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 , the data analysis module 2 includes:
[0049] The machine learning model prediction unit 201 is used when processing data within the standard data volume range. It utilizes a trained decision tree model, which can output accurate prediction analysis results based on the data output by the machine tool data acquisition module. The decision tree model shows the decision-making process through a tree-like structure, where each internal node represents an attribute test, each branch represents the test result, and the leaf node corresponds to the final prediction result. This model structure is clear, easy to understand, and performs well in processing structured data.
[0050] The deep learning model prediction unit 202, when processing data volume exceeding the standard range, utilizes a trained deep learning algorithm model, also based on the data of the machine tool data acquisition module, to perform prediction analysis and output the predicted analysis results. Deep learning algorithm models have significant advantages in processing large-scale and high-dimensional data. They can automatically extract complex features from the data and achieve high-precision predictions through multi-layer non-linear transformations.
[0051] By integrating the machine learning model prediction unit and the deep learning model prediction unit, the data analysis module can flexibly handle different-scale data processing requirements and provide strong support for the analysis of key parameters in the wafer production process.
[0052] In one embodiment, the types of decision tree models adopted by the machine learning algorithm model include: CatBoost model and XGBoost model;
[0053] CatBoost is a decision tree algorithm based on gradient boosting, which performs well in processing classification and regression problems, especially suitable for preliminary data analysis and model construction. It can automatically handle categorical features and reduce the risk of overfitting through a unique algorithm. CatBoost makes the model more stable during the training process and improves the prediction accuracy by introducing a symmetric tree structure. In the wafer production process, the CatBoost model can be used to predict key indicators such as equipment failure rate and product yield rate. Since it can automatically handle categorical features, it is very suitable for processing complex scenarios containing various types of data.
[0054] XGBoost is another powerful gradient boosting algorithm, which performs well in processing large-scale data and can handle missing values and categorical features. XGBoost improves the generalization ability of the model by optimizing the loss function and regularization term, and supports parallel computing, greatly improving the training speed. The XGBoost model can be used for various prediction tasks in wafer production, such as predicting the production cycle of products and the maintenance cycle of equipment. Due to its fast training speed and high accuracy, it is very suitable for processing large-scale data sets.
[0055] The deep learning algorithm model adopts a CNN or DNN model;
[0056] CNN is a convolutional neural network model, and its network structure has excellent performance in image processing. Through structures such as convolutional layers, pooling layers, and fully connected layers, CNN can automatically extract features and perform tasks such as classification or regression. CNN has a wide range of applications in fields such as image processing and video analysis. During the wafer production process, the amount of data to be analyzed is usually very large, and CNN can quickly process this data and output prediction results. This helps to promptly discover problems and take corresponding measures, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality.
[0057] DNN is a computational model that simulates the structure and function of the human brain neural network, with powerful feature learning capabilities and non-linear processing capabilities. Through multiple layers of non-linear hidden layers, it can achieve the approximation of complex functions, reaching the effect of universal approximation. DNN can automatically extract useful features from raw data, greatly improving the generalization ability of the model. During the wafer production process, DNN can be used for advanced tasks such as predicting product performance and optimizing production parameters.
[0058] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 , the data optimization module 3 includes:
[0059] The parameter adjustment and compensation unit 301 can, based on the analysis results, adjust the key process parameters in the wafer production process, such as temperature, pressure, time, etc., in real-time and accurately. The adjusted process parameter values will be fed back to the user in real-time, enabling the user to promptly understand the production status and make further optimizations and adjustments as needed. This helps to improve the transparency and efficiency of production management. And it also compensates the model parameters of the Fab system indexing algorithm model based on the analysis results. Through this optimization, the accuracy and reliability of the algorithm model can be further improved, thereby ensuring that the process parameter adjustment in the production process is more precise and effective.
[0060] The parameter adjustment and compensation unit 301 can quickly adjust the process parameter values based on the real-time analysis results. This immediate response ability helps prevent potential problems before they occur, thus reducing the triggering of OCap alarms. This unit not only adjusts the process parameters but also compensates for the Fab system indices. For example, in the APC system, the compensated system indices are the indices (which can be understood as slopes, with a value range of 0 to 1) in front of each input process parameter in the algorithm equation. This precise compensation can ensure that the production environment operates in the best state and reduce OCap alarms caused by system fluctuations or instability. By continuously monitoring and adjusting the process parameter values and compensating for the Fab system indices, this unit 301 can ensure that the equipment maintains a stable operating state during production. This helps reduce equipment failures and downtime, and improve production efficiency and product quality. In addition to ensuring the stability of equipment operation, this unit 301 can further enhance the stability of equipment operation by continuously optimizing the algorithm model and process parameter values. This helps reduce the volatility and uncertainty during production and improve the controllability and predictability of production. During the wafer production process, it may be affected by various external factors, such as temperature changes, humidity fluctuations, power fluctuations, etc. By dynamically adjusting the process parameter values and compensating for the Fab system indices, this unit 301 can, to a certain extent, offset the impact of these external factors on the equipment, thus ensuring the stability and controllability of the production process.
[0061] The model adjustment unit 302 is configured to monitor the data volume input to the data analysis module, and when the data volume is within the standard data volume range, control the data analysis module 2 to process the data using a machine learning model, and when the data volume exceeds the standard data volume range, control the data analysis module 2 to process the data using a deep learning algorithm model;
[0062] The model adjustment unit 302 can make intelligent decisions based on the real-time changes in the data volume and select an appropriate algorithm model for processing. This decision-making method can ensure the efficiency and accuracy of data processing. This unit 302 can flexibly adjust the standard data volume range according to changes in system processing capabilities and business requirements. This highly adaptable feature enables the system to handle data processing tasks of different scales and complexities.
[0063] In one embodiment, the development process of the platform includes:
[0064] Users determine the relevant parameters of the AI edge computing platform according to their own needs, and these parameters may include data processing capabilities, real-time requirements, security requirements, etc. Based on the user needs, the platform developer sets the corresponding parameters in the system to establish a foundation for subsequent system development and configuration.
[0065] Ensure that the AI edge computing platform can communicate stably and efficiently. Before introducing AI technology, test the system through traditional development modes, namely local simulation environment testing, actual simulation environment testing, and actual production environment testing, to ensure the stability and reliability of basic functions.
[0066] According to the types (such as image recognition, data analysis, prediction, etc.) and scales (such as data volume, processing speed, etc.) of business data processing tasks in each Fab system, analyze the required AI computing power requirements.
