Abstract: Methods and systems for detection of an endpoint of a substrate process are provided. A set of machine learning models are trained to provide a metrology measurement value associated with a particular type of metrology measurement for a substrate based on spectral data collected for the substrate. A respective machine learning model is selected to be applied to future spectral data collected during a future substrate process for a future substrate in view of a performance rating associated with the particular type of metrology measurement. Current spectral data is collected during a current process for a current substrate and provided as input to the respective machine learning model. An indication of a respective metrology measurement value corresponding to the current substrate is extracted from one or more outputs of the trained machine learning model.

Abstract: A method includes determining that conditions of a processing chamber have changed since a trained machine learning model associated with the processing chamber was trained. The method further includes determining whether a change in the conditions of the processing chamber is a gradual change or a sudden change. Responsive to determining that the change in the conditions of the processing chamber is a gradual change, the method further includes performing a first training process to generate a new machine learning model. Responsive to determining that the change in the conditions of the processing chamber is a sudden change, the method further includes performing a second training process to generate the new machine learning model. The first training process is different from the second training process.

Abstract: A machine learning model trained to provide metrology measurements for a substrate is provided. Training data generated for a prior substrate processed according to a prior process is provided to train the model. The training data includes a training input including a subset of historical spectral data extracted from a normalized set of historical spectral data collected for the prior substrate during the prior process. The subset of historical spectral data includes an indication of historical spectral features associated with a particular type of metrology measurement. The training data also includes a training output including a historical metrology measurement obtained for the prior substrate, the historical metrology measurement associated with the particular type of metrology measurement. Spectral data is collected for a current substrate processed according to a current process.
