  • Publication number: 20250052814
    Abstract: A method is for teaching a machine learning system to predict failure probabilities of chips on a wafer. The method is based on a prediction of final test yields depending on wafer-level test measurements by the machine learning system. The machine learning system predicts the failure probabilities of the chips depending on the wafer-level test measurements, and the predicted failure probabilities are aggregated to the predicted final test yields. The machine learning system is trained, such that a math difference between predicted final test yields and final test yields from a training data set is minimized. Differences between the predicted final test yields and final test yields from a training data set are minimized.

  • Publication number: 20250020714
    Abstract: A method for estimating an uncertainty of an assignment rule that assigns first variables from a first set of first variables to second variables from a second set of second variables. The method includes: ascertaining inaccuracies of a machine learning system trained with the assignment rule, wherein the inaccuracies are ascertained by means of a difference between the second variables predicted by the machine learning system depending on the first variables and the second variables assigned to the first variables according to the assignment rule; ascertaining a covariance matrix depending on the ascertained inaccuracies; ascertaining a likelihood matrix and normalizing the likelihood matrix by dividing the value of the likelihood matrix by the corresponding column sum.

  • Patent number: 12098919
    Abstract: In a device and method for determining a contact between a tool and a workpiece, which are displaceable relative to each other, the tool or workpiece being rotationally fixedly connected to a shaft, the device includes a measuring arrangement including a measuring scale rotationally fixedly disposed on the shaft and at least one position encoder disposed in a stationary manner relative to the shaft, and a processing device. The position encoder is adapted to scan the measuring scale and to generate position values indicating a position of the shaft. The position values are fed to the processing device, which determines contact between the tool and the workpiece by evaluating a progression of the position values and signals the result of the evaluation by the status of a displacement signal.
