  • Publication number: 20240103462
    Abstract: A support device supports adjustment of values of parameters of a substrate processing apparatus. The parameters include detection target parameters of which corresponding physical quantities are to be detected. An arithmetic processing section of the support device builds a predictive model through a first machine leaning model performing learning of quality data and detection data pieces relating to the physical quantities. The arithmetic processing section acquires detection data recommended values by executing Bayesian optimization based on the predictive model, an acquisition function, and a search range. The arithmetic processing section causes a second machine learning model to perform learning of the detection data pieces and values of the parameters. The arithmetic processing section outputs parameter recommended values by inputting the detection data recommended values to the second machine learning model having performed the learning.
