12 results about "Virtual metrology" patented technology

In semiconductor manufacturing, virtual metrology refers to methods to predict the properties of a wafer based on machine parameters and sensor data in the production equipment, without performing the (costly) physical measurement of the wafer properties. Statistical methods such as classification and regression are used to perform such a task. Examples of virtual metrology include: the prediction of the silicon nitride (Si₃N₄) layer thickness in the chemical vapor deposition process (CVD), using multivariate regression methods; the prediction of critical dimension in photolithography, using multi-level and regularization approaches; the prediction of layer width in etching.

Virtual metrology system components and associated methods

A specialized machine learning model configured to minimize and / or eliminate the need for motorized hardware to block higher order diffracted radiation from corrupting alignment measurements in semiconductor manufacturing metrology processes. For example, a radiation source illuminates a metrology target in a layer of a patterned substrate with radiation, the metrology target diffracts the radiation. A radiation sensor outputs phase data and intensity data of the diffracted radiation. The phase data includes different energies associated with different diffraction orders of the diffracted radiation. The model is configured to determine a subset of the intensity data associated with positive first order diffracted radiation and negative first order diffracted radiation incident on the radiation sensor based on the phase data, and determine an intensity difference or intensity imbalance between the positive first order diffracted radiation and the negative first order diffracted radiation based on the subset of the intensity data.

Modelling and prediction system with auto machine learning in the production of memory devices

To provide more test data during the manufacture of non-volatile memories and other integrated circuits, machine learning is used to generate virtual test values. Virtual test results are interpolated for one set of tests for devices on which the test is not performed based on correlations with other sets of tests. In one example, machine learning determines a correlation study between bad block values determined at die sort and photo-limited yield (PLY) values determined inline during processing. The correlation can be applied to interpolate virtual inline PLY data for all of the memory dies, allowing for more rapid feedback on the processing parameters for manufacturing the memory dies and making the manufacturing process more efficient and accurate. In another set of embodiments, the machine learning is used to extrapolate limited metrology (e.g., critical dimension) test data to all of the memory die through interpolated virtual metrology data values.
