  • Publication number: 20230341783
    Abstract: A method of determining matching performance between tools used in semiconductor manufacture and associated tools is described. The method includes obtaining a plurality of data sets related to a plurality of tools and a representation of the data sets in a reduced space having a reduced dimensionality. A matching metric and/or matching correction is determined based on matching the reduced data sets in the reduced space.

  • Publication number: 20230273529
    Abstract: Generating a control output for a patterning process is described. A control input is received. The control input is for controlling the patterning process. The control input includes one or more parameters used in the patterning process. The control output is generated with a trained machine learning mod& based on the control input, The machine learning model is trained with training data generated from simulation of the patterning process and/or actual process data, The training data includes 1) a plurality of training control inputs corresponding to a plurality of operational conditions of the patterning process, where the plurality of operational conditions of the patterning process are associated with operational condition specific behavior of the patterning process over time, and 2) training control outputs generated using a physical model based on the training control inputs.

  • Publication number: 20230260855
    Abstract: A method of determining a correction strategy in a semiconductor manufacturing process. The method can include obtaining functional indicator data relating to functional indicators associated with one or more process parameters of each of a plurality of different control regimes of the semiconductor manufacturing process and/or a tool associated with the semiconductor manufacturing process and using the functional indicator data as an input to a trained model to determine for which of the control regimes should a correction be determined so as to improve performance of the semiconductor manufacturing process according to at least one quality metric being representative of a quality of the semiconductor manufacturing process. The correction is then calculated for the determined control regime(s).
