Publication number: 20250044775Abstract: For etching tools, a neural network model is trained to predict optimum scheduling parameter values. The model is trained using data collected from preventive maintenance operations, recipe times, and wafer-less auto clean times as inputs. The model is used to capture underlying relationships between scheduling parameter values and various wafer processing scenarios to make predictions. Additionally, in tools used for multiple parallel material deposition processes, a nested neural network based model is trained using machine learning. The model is initially designed and trained offline using simulated data and then trained online using real tool data for predicting wafer routing path and scheduling. The model improves accuracy of scheduler pacing and achieves highest tool/fleet utilization, shortest wait times, and fastest throughput.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2024Publication date: February 6, 2025Inventors: Raymond Chau, Chung-Ho Huang, Henry Chan, Vincent Wong, Yu Ding, Ngoc-Diep Nguyen, Gerramine Manuguid

Patent number: 8329412Abstract: The invention relates to covalent modification of proteins through their conjugation with other proteins. More particularly, the invention relates to the modulation of such conjugation involving the protein NEDD8. The invention provides compositions and methods for detecting and/or modulating the activation and/or conjugation of NEDD8, as well as compositions and methods for discovering molecules which are useful in detecting and/or modulating the activation and/or conjugation of NEDD8. The present invention arises from the purification and characterization of novel NEDD8 activating and conjugating enzymes.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2010Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc.Inventors: Vincent Chau, Tatiana Gladysheva

Patent number: 8273540Abstract: Compositions are provided according to embodiments of the present invention which include an isolated fusion protein including an E3 protein RING motif bonded to an UCE E2 protein. In preferred embodiments, the C-terminus of the E3 protein RING motif is bonded to the N-terminus of the UCE E2 protein by an intervening peptide linker. Optionally, the peptide linker is 5-50 amino acids. Preferred is a peptide linker of 15-20 amino acids. Methods of identifying ubiquitylation modulators are provided according to embodiments of the present invention which include contacting an isolated fusion protein including an E3 protein RING motif bonded to an UCE E2 protein with a ubiquitylation substrate in the presence of a test substance. Ubiquitylation of the ubiquitylation substrate is then detected to determine the effect of the test substance on ubiquitylation of the ubiquitylation substrate.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2009Date of Patent: September 25, 2012Assignee: The Penn State Research FoundationInventors: Vincent Chau, Catherine S. Coleman, Kristine C. Olson
