Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of nonlinear heat conduction control, and in particular to a real-time prediction and control method for coating thickness that integrates differentiable architecture search and physical constraints. Background Art

[0002] Traditional coating thickness control methods rely on numerical simulations based on physical models. Complex heat conduction integral equations must be established and solved using discretization methods such as finite element methods. This results in high computational costs and difficulty in handling strong nonlinear problems. In recent years, physical information neural networks (PINNs) have been used to solve integral equations by embedding differential equation constraints into neural network loss functions. However, the existing PINN framework uses a dense neural network (DNN) with a fixed structure, and the number of layers and neurons must be manually preset, leading to the following problems: (1) The network structure relies on empirical design and is difficult to adapt to the nonlinear heat conduction characteristics under different working conditions; (2) The complex network structure has a large number of parameters, low training efficiency, and is difficult to meet real-time control requirements; (3) The fixed-structure network is prone to falling into local optimality when processing multidimensional nonlinear integral equations, resulting in limited prediction accuracy.

[0003] The existing technologies have the following major drawbacks: (1) Traditional numerical methods have low computational efficiency when solving nonlinear heat conduction integral equations, making it difficult to achieve real-time control; (2) Fixed-structure PINN networks lack adaptability, requiring repeated network architecture design for different coating materials and thermal boundary conditions; (3) The selection of the number of neural network layers and neurons relies on trial-and-error methods, resulting in wasted computational resources and insufficient generalization performance; (4) Existing neural architecture search (NAS) methods are incompatible with physical constraints, and the discretization of the search space leads to low convergence efficiency. Therefore, a method that can improve the solution accuracy and generalization ability of complex nonlinear heat conduction models is urgently needed for real-time prediction and control of coating thickness.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0051] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0052] The present invention provides a technical solution: a real-time prediction and control method for coating thickness that integrates microarchitecture search and physical constraints, comprising the following steps:

[0053] S1. Establish a physical model of coating heat conduction;

[0054] In step S1, a two-dimensional nonlinear Volterra integral equation is established for the heat conduction process of the coating in a high-temperature environment to describe the relationship between the coating thickness distribution μ(x, y) and the heat flux density and material properties. The specific equation is:

[0055]

[0056] where (x,y)∈Ω=[0,1] 2 is the two-dimensional spatial coordinate of the substrate surface (unit: m), which represents the normalized spatial coordinate; μ(x, y) is the real-time coating thickness at position (x, y) (unit: μm); μ(s, t) is the real-time coating thickness at position (s, t) (unit: μm), which characterizes the autocatalytic effect of the deposited area on the current deposition rate; f(x, y) is the external deposition source intensity distribution function (including the plasma flow field control term), and its specific form is:

[0057] S2. Using the Newton-Leibniz formula, the two-dimensional nonlinear Volterra integral equation corresponding to the coating heat conduction physical model is transformed into an equivalent system of equations;

[0058] In step S2, the Newton-Leibniz formula is used to transform the two-dimensional nonlinear Volterra integral equation corresponding to the coating heat conduction physical model into an equivalent system of equations, which is expressed as follows:

[0059]

[0060] Where, Γ c is the control equation, F2(x,y) is the integral term The corresponding primitive function of the second-order integral operator, Γ t is the transformation equation, F2(y,t)' t is the partial derivative of F2(y,t) with respect to t, and F1(s,t) is the integral term The corresponding primitive function of the first-order integral operator, Γ d Define the solution constraints for the boundary conditions.

[0063] The layer selection, i.e., converting the discrete layer number selection into a differentiable probability distribution through the retain / skip operation of Softmax relaxation, specifically includes the following:

The DNN layer search is to find the highest weight between ρ1 and ρ2. If ρ1 < ρ2, the hidden layer is retained; if ρ1 ≥ ρ2, the hidden layer is skipped. When ρ1 = ρ2, skipping reduces the number of hidden layers, streamlining the neural network structure and improving the efficiency of neural network training.

[0066] Based on the layer selection, the hidden layer output is defined as y = ρ1·X + ρ2·σ(w·X+b)·[g×mask] T , where g is the weight of the number of neurons, mask is a predefined binary mask matrix; the possible number of neurons in the hidden layer of the neural network is defined as N i (i=1,…,N n )≤N, to achieve the selection of the number of neurons, first fill the number of neurons in the M hidden layers to N, and then simulate different numbers of neurons by multiplying the filled neurons by a tensor mask and disabling the extra neurons. The output of the hidden layer is:

[0067]

[0068] At this time, g=[g1,g2,…,g N ], g i (i=1,2,…,N) is the weight of each neuron number, mask i(i=1,2,…,N) is the mask corresponding to each number of neurons, and its shape is 1*N, that is, if the number of neurons is N i (i=1,…,N), then the corresponding mask mask i (i=1,2,…,N) Top N i elements are 1, and the rest (NN i ) elements are 0. The search of DNN neurons is to find g i (i=1,2,…,N n ). If there are neurons with the same number of weights, the one with the smaller number of neurons is selected.

[0086] S5. Online thickness prediction and feedback control.

[0087] In step S5, a real-time control closed loop is designed based on the trained optimal neural network. Real-time temperature field data is input into the trained neural network, which outputs a predicted coating thickness distribution value, μ(x, y). Based on the predicted thickness distribution, the plasma flow rate (with a control range of ±15%) and deposition angle (±0.5°) are dynamically adjusted to achieve a coating thickness uniformity error of ≤3.2μm (a 67% reduction compared to open-loop control).

[0088] The present invention provides a real-time prediction control method for coating thickness that integrates microarchitecture search and physical constraints. Figure 1As shown in Table 1, in order to compare with the neural architecture searched by the present invention, five reference neural network architectures were manually designed from the search space based on experience: (a) a 10-layer fully connected network, a neural network with the most parameters in the search space (10 layers, 100 neurons per layer); (b) a 2-layer wide network, a shallow (2 hidden layers) neural network with the most neurons per layer (100 neurons per layer); (c) a 10-layer narrow network, a neural network with the most hidden layers (10 layers) but the least neurons per layer (10 neurons per layer); (d) an increasing structure network, a neural network with an increasing number of neurons; (e) a decreasing structure network, a neural network with a decreasing number of neurons, as shown in Table 1.

[0091] Table 1 details these reference architectures as sequences, where the first and last elements of the sequence represent the input and output, and the remaining elements represent the number of neurons in each layer. All five reference architectures, as well as the proposed search architecture, were trained from scratch for 8,000 epochs (one epoch is defined as the completion of training on all training data) under the same experimental conditions using 16,000 training points and 1,600 solution constraint points. All experiments were repeated five times, and the average value was calculated.

[0092] The present invention is a real-time prediction control method for coating thickness that integrates microarchitecture search and physical constraints. The search framework is compared with the mean square error (MSE) of the traditional fixed network structure. Figure 2 As shown. Figure 2 As can be seen from the latest experimental data, the method of the present invention has a more significant advantage over the existing technology: under the condition of 16,000 training samples, the mean square error of the search architecture based on the present invention is 4.24×10 -8 , compared with the 10-layer fully connected network (9.69×10 -7 ), 2-layer wide network (1.78×10 -6 ) and a 10-layer narrow network (7.09×10 -6 ) were increased by 22.8 times, 42.0 times and 167.3 times respectively; and significantly outperformed the incremental structure network (3.02×10 -6 ) and decreasing structure network (2.40×10 -7 ), with accuracy increased by 71.2 times and 5.7 times respectively. In terms of computational efficiency, when the NVIDIA RTX 4070Ti platform achieves the same accuracy, the training time of this invention is only 1.2 hours, which is 74.5% shorter than the traditional fixed structure network (4.7 hours), and the parameter size is reduced to 1.2×104 , which is 86.2% lower than that of a 10-layer fully connected network (8.7×10), achieving a simultaneous breakthrough in accuracy and efficiency.

[0093] The present invention utilizes a continuous relaxation of the search space, increasing search efficiency by 15.7 times and reducing memory usage by 89%. Using a physical-structural dual-stage optimization approach, training time is reduced by 64% and convergence speed is increased by 3.9 times. Through Gumbel-Softmax mask sampling, the neuron activation rate reaches 32.7%, increasing energy efficiency by 3.1 times.
