  • Patent number: 11773504
    Abstract: A plating support system is provided and includes a simulator that predicts an in-plane uniformity value of a plating film formed on a substrate based on assumed conditions for an electroplating treatment of the substrate; a numerical analysis data storage unit that stores numerical analysis data in which each assumed condition is associated with the in-plane uniformity value for plural assumed conditions; a regression analysis unit that estimates a model that the in-plane uniformity value is an objective variable and variables of assumed conditions are explanatory variables by regression analysis based on the numerical analysis data; and an implement condition search unit that uses the estimated model to search for implement conditions that are recommended values of the assumed conditions related to the in-plane uniformity of the plating film formed in the electroplating treatment of the substrate to be plated.

  • Publication number: 20230175163
    Abstract: Provided is a technique for appropriately handling a substrate holder depending on a use state of the substrate holder. The substrate holder for holding a substrate that is a plating target in a plating apparatus is suggested. The substrate holder includes an RFID tag, and the RFID tag includes a storage region in which a use attribute is stored, the use attribute including an attribute indicating a state of being used for plating processing.

  • Publication number: 20220221835
    Abstract: Conventionally, in order to hold data with a high sampling rate in a control device, it has been necessary to increase the capacity of ring buffers. A data management method for a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus includes acquiring, by a control device, data related to operation of the semiconductor manufacturing apparatus, identifying, by the control device, first data and second data of the acquired data, writing, by the control device, the first data to a first ring buffer at first temporal granularity and the second data to a second ring buffer at second temporal granularity coarser than the first temporal granularity, and extracting, by a data management device, the first and second data from the first ring buffer and the second ring buffer respectively and storing the first and second data in a database.

  • Publication number: 20200251361
    Abstract: A control system which can efficiently perform an operational adjustment work and can safely adjust a unit is disclosed. The control system 20 includes a controller 10 and a plurality of terminal devices connectable to the controller 10. The controller 10 includes a storage device 110 storing a processing program, and a processor 120 for performing operations and calculations based on the processing program. The processing program including instructions to give an access operation right, which permits access by an adjustment target unit to an access target unit, to a target terminal device which is one of the terminal devices in response to a request for the access operation right, transmitted from the target terminal device to the controller 10, on the condition that an exclusive operation right for the access target unit has not been given to any of the terminal devices.
