  • Publication number: 20230376020
    Abstract: A method includes identifying trace data including a plurality of data points, the trace data being associated with production, via a substrate processing system, of substrates that have property values that meet threshold values. The method further includes determining, based on the trace data, a dynamic acceptable area outside of guardband limits. The method further includes causing, based on the dynamic acceptable area outside of the guardband limits, performance of a corrective action associated with the substrate processing system.

  • Publication number: 20230376374
    Abstract: A method includes identifying trace data including a plurality of data points, the trace data being associated with production, via a substrate processing system, of substrates having property values that meet threshold values. The method further includes determining, based on a guardband, guardband violation data points of the plurality of data points of the trace data. The method further includes determining, based on the guardband violation data points, guardband violation shape characterization. Classification of additional guardband violation data points of additional trace data is to be based on the guardband violation shape characterization. Performance of a corrective action associated with the substrate processing system is based on the classification.

  • Patent number: 11789427
    Abstract: A method includes receiving one or more fingerprint dimensions to be used to generate a fingerprint. The method further includes receiving trace data associated with a manufacturing process. The method further includes applying the one or more fingerprint dimensions to the trace data to generate at least one feature. The method further includes generating the fingerprint based on the at least one feature. The method further includes causing, based on the fingerprint, performance of a corrective action associated with one or more manufacturing processes.

  • Patent number: 11610076
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, from sensors, current trace data including current sensor values associated with producing products. The method further includes processing the current trace data to identify features of the current trace data and providing the features of the current trace data as input to a trained machine learning model that uses a hyperplane limit for product classification. The method further includes obtaining, from the trained machine learning model, outputs indicative of predictive data associated with the hyperplane limit and processing the predictive data and the hyperplane limit to determine: first products associated with a first product classification and second products associated with a second product classification based exclusively on the subset of the plurality of features; and third products associated with the first product classification or the second product classification based on an additional feature not within the subset.
