Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of supervisory data transmission management, and in particular to a semiconductor production data supervision system and method based on the Internet of Things. Background Art

[0002] In the semiconductor production process, different production equipment is used in different production stages. These production equipment need to be regularly inspected and maintained during the semiconductor production process to ensure the safe operation of the equipment and thus the safe production of semiconductors.

[0003] However, since the number of semiconductors produced each time may vary, the time for transitioning to the next stage after the previous production stage completes the production process is also different. When entering the next production stage, the production equipment of the corresponding stage is needed, and the last inspection time of the corresponding equipment may be a long time ago. Before using the equipment, it is necessary to check the equipment inspection data to determine whether the equipment can operate safely. For inspection data uploaded to the supervision terminal with a long interval, referring to it to determine whether the equipment can operate safely can easily reduce the accuracy of the judgment result. The existing technology does not, on the basis of the original equipment inspection cycle, intervene in the equipment inspection time, that is, the time to upload the inspection data when necessary to maintain the accuracy of the result of the reference inspection data judgment, and cannot reduce the probability of equipment failure when the equipment is used after the reference inspection data.

[0029] A semiconductor production data supervision method based on the Internet of Things comprises the following steps:

[0030] Z1: Collect historical semiconductor production information and historical inspection information of equipment used for semiconductor production;

[0031] Z2: For different production stages, a production time prediction model is established based on the historical production information of semiconductors to predict the time required to complete the current number of semiconductor production processes in the current production stage;

[0032] Z3: Analyze the probability of equipment failure when the equipment is used after judging the equipment's operating status by referring to the equipment inspection data stored in the production supervision terminal before the next production stage of the current production stage begins;

[0033] Z4: Conduct equipment re-inspection and re-inspection data transmission management based on probability analysis results.

[0034] Furthermore, in step Z1: the historical production quantity set of each previous production of the semiconductor is collected as M = {M1, M2, ..., M r}, r represents the historical production times of semiconductors. When the corresponding number of semiconductors were produced in the past, the time information spent on completing the corresponding number of semiconductor production processes in each production stage is collected. The inspection information of the equipment used for semiconductor production in each production stage is collected, including the current default equipment inspection cycle, the previously set equipment inspection cycle, and the number of times the equipment fails when used in semiconductor production due to direct reference to the equipment inspection data transmitted to the production supervision terminal to determine whether the equipment can operate normally under the corresponding inspection cycle, and the use of the equipment after the judgment result is obtained.

[0035] Further, in step Z2: when the semiconductor to be produced is currently in the i-th production stage, and the corresponding number of semiconductors in the previous production set M are retrieved, the time set taken to complete the production process of the corresponding number of semiconductors in the i-th production stage is t = {t1, t2, ..., t r}, for data points {(M1, t1), (M2, t2), …, (M r , t r )} to perform straight line fitting and establish a production time prediction model for predicting the time required to complete the semiconductor production process in the current production stage: Y = a*X+b, where a and b represent the fitting coefficients of the production time prediction model, and solve a and b respectively:

[0037] Wherein, e=1,2,…,r, e represents the e-th production of semiconductors, the current number of semiconductors to be produced is obtained as N, and N is substituted into the production time prediction model: let X=N, and the predicted time required to complete the production process of the current number of semiconductors in the current production stage is a*N+b.

[0038] Further, in step Z3: retrieve the previously set equipment inspection cycle set L = {L1, L2, ..., L n}, n represents the number of historical settings of the inspection cycle of the corresponding equipment, and the number of times the equipment fails when used in semiconductor production due to the direct reference to the corresponding equipment inspection data transmitted to the production supervision terminal to determine whether the equipment can operate normally under different inspection cycles in the past, and the equipment is used after the judgment result is obtained is H = {H1, H2, ..., H n},according to The calculation shows that when the inspection cycle is set to L j When the corresponding equipment inspection data transmitted to the production monitoring terminal is directly referenced to determine whether the equipment can operate normally, the probability that the equipment will fail when used in semiconductor production after the judgment result is obtained is P j , the failure probability set is P = {P1, P2, ..., P j ,…,P n}, for data points {(H1, P1), (H2, P2), …, (H n , P n )} to perform straight line fitting and establish a failure probability prediction model for the equipment used in semiconductor production in the i+1th production stage:

The start time of the semiconductor that needs to be produced is A1, the start time of the i-th production stage of the semiconductor that needs to be produced is A2, and the equipment inspection cycle used for the semiconductor production in the i+1-th production stage is B1. The equipment inspection cycle B1 means that the equipment is inspected once every B1 interval after the start of the first stage of semiconductor production. Under the currently set corresponding equipment inspection cycle, the transmission time of the corresponding equipment inspection data referenced before the start of the i+1-th production stage is the interval time from the start time of the i+1-th production stage to the start time of the i+1-th production stage. in, Express Round down, let It is predicted that the probability that the corresponding equipment will fail when used in semiconductor production by directly referring to the equipment inspection data transmitted to the production monitoring terminal to determine whether the corresponding equipment can operate normally is p.

[0040] Further, in step Z4: set the failure probability threshold to p ’ , compare p and p ’ :If p>p ’ , it is determined that before the start of the i+1th production stage, the equipment used in the corresponding production stage needs to be re-inspected, and after the equipment is re-inspected, the equipment inspection data is transmitted to the production supervision terminal. Before the start of the i+1th production stage, the equipment inspection data transmitted after the re-inspection is referred to to determine whether the corresponding equipment can operate normally; if p≤p ’ , it is determined that there is no need to re-inspect the equipment used in the corresponding production stage before the start of the i+1th production stage, and it is chosen to directly refer to the corresponding equipment inspection data stored in the production supervision terminal before the start of the i+1th production stage to determine whether the corresponding equipment can operate normally. After determining that the corresponding equipment can operate normally, the corresponding equipment is used at the beginning of the i+1th production stage to complete the semiconductor production process of the corresponding stage.

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are:

[0042] The present invention uses big data technology to collect historical production data of semiconductors and the time information required to complete the corresponding production volume in each stage, uses the production volume and time data as training data to establish a production time prediction model, substitutes the current number of semiconductors to be produced into the production time prediction model, and predicts the time required to complete the production process of the current number of semiconductors in the current production stage, thereby improving the accuracy of the prediction results of the production completion time under different circumstances;

[0043] By collecting information on equipment failures under the premise of setting different inspection cycles for the equipment in the past, analyzing the probability of equipment failure based on the collected information, analyzing the equipment inspection time transmitted to the supervision terminal as a reference before starting production work in the next production stage under the currently set equipment inspection cycle, predicting the reference corresponding inspection time, that is, the inspection data corresponding to the inspection data transmission time to judge the equipment operation results, and using the equipment after determining that the equipment can operate normally. The failure probability of the equipment is determined in advance based on the probability prediction results whether it is necessary to re-inspect the semiconductor production equipment and retransmit the inspection data, and managing the equipment inspection data transmission, thereby reducing the probability of equipment failure when the equipment is used after referring to the inspection data.
