  • ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE-ENABLED PREPARATION END-POINTING
    Publication number: 20240071040
    Abstract: Methods and systems for implementing artificial intelligence enabled preparation end-pointing are disclosed. An example method at least includes obtaining an image of a surface of a sample, the sample including a plurality of features, analyzing the image to determine whether an end point has been reached, the end point based on a feature of interest out of the plurality of features observable in the image, and based on the end point not being reached, removing a layer of material from the surface of the sample.
    Type: Application
    Filed: November 7, 2023
    Publication date: February 29, 2024
    Inventors: Thomas Gary Miller, John F. Flanagan, IV, Brian Routh, JR., Richard Young, Brad Larson, Aditee Shrotre

  • Line-based endpoint detection
    Patent number: 11355313
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods directed toward endpoint detection are disclosed herein. An example method at least includes forming a plurality of lines on a top surface of a sample; removing, a plurality of times, material from a working surface of the sample, the working surface different than the top surface; imaging, a plurality of times, the sample to at least capture the plurality of lines; and determining an endpoint based on a relative spatial characteristic between two or more lines of the plurality of lines.
