Publication number: 20250189946Abstract: A method includes receiving data indicating an update to a substrate fabrication system to operate according to one or more process procedures. The update includes at least one of i.) an alteration of a scheduled operational mode of a support asset of the substrate fabrication system to a shared operational mode; or ii.) a modification of a first gas to a second gas used by the substrate fabrication system. The method further includes inputting the data into a digital replica configured to estimate environment resource usage data indicative of an amount of one or more resources consumed. The method further includes receiving estimated environmental resource usage data output from the digital replica corresponding to performing the one or more process procedures by the substrate fabrication system incorporating the update. The method further includes providing the estimated environmental resource usage data for display on a graphical user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2025Publication date: June 12, 2025Inventors: Ala Moradian, Umesh Madhav Kelkar, Elizabeth Neville, Orlando Trejo, Sergey Meirovich, Kartik B.

Patent number: 12228905Abstract: Technologies directed to an eco-efficiency monitoring and exploration platform for semiconductor manufacturing. One method includes receiving, by a processing device, first data indicating an update to a substrate fabrication system having a first configuration of manufacturing equipment and operating to one or more process procedures. The method further includes determining, by the processing device, using the first data with a digital replica, environmental resource data. The digital replica includes a digital reproduction of the substrate fabrication system. The environmental resource usage data indicates an environment resource consumption that corresponds to performing the one or more process procedures by the substrate fabrication system incorporating the update. The method further includes providing, by the processing device, the environmental resource usage data for display on a graphical user interface (GUI).Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2021Date of Patent: February 18, 2025Assignee: Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: Ala Moradian, Umesh Madhav Kelkar, Elizabeth Neville, Orlando Trejo, Sergey Meirovich, Kartik B.

Patent number: 11586160Abstract: Methods and systems for reducing substrate particle scratching using machine learning are provided. A machine learning model is trained to predict process recipe settings for a substrate temperature control process to be performed for a current substrate at a manufacturing system. First training data and second training data are generated for the machine learning model. The first training data includes historical data associated with prior process recipe settings for a prior substrate temperature control process performed for a prior substrate at a prior process chamber. The second training data is associated with a historical scratch profile of one or more surfaces of the prior substrate after performance of the prior substrate temperature control process according to the prior process recipe settings.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2021Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: Kartik B Shah, Satish Radhakrishnan, Karthik Ramanathan, Karthikeyan Balaraman, Adolph Miller Allen, Xinyuan Chong, Mitrabhanu Sahu, Wenjing Xu, Michael Sterling Jackson, Weize Hu, Feng Chen
