  • Publication number: 20240095432
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for determining the recipe for manufacturing a semiconductor with the use of machine learning (ML) to accelerate the definition of recipes. One general aspect includes a method that includes an operation for performing experiments for processing a component, each experiment controlled by a recipe, from a set of recipes, that identifies parameters for manufacturing equipment. The method further includes an operation for performing virtual simulations for processing the component, each simulation controlled by one recipe from the set of recipes. An ML model is obtained by training an ML algorithm using experiment results and virtual results from the virtual simulations. The method further includes operations for receiving specifications for a desired processing of the component, and creating, by the ML model, a new recipe for processing the component based on the specifications.
