Detecting Defective Wafers Via Modular Networks
- 将制造过程分解为阶段模块,组合预测关键质量指标
- 在多种晶圆类型上实现更高检测准确率,泛化能力更强
- 设计可解释,适合工业落地的缺陷检测场景
半导体制造中传感器的普及使基于数据驱动模型检测缺陷晶圆成为可能。无需直接测量器件质量,模型可通过捕捉不同传感器读数间的关联,预测关键质量指标(KQI,如粗糙度、电阻),从而显著降低物理量测环节的资本与人力成本。然而,现有模型对不同工艺间关联关注不足,普遍面临泛化能力差的问题。为此,本文提出一种基于时序分阶段数据训练的模块化网络(MN),其结构反映制造流程。该模型将KQI预测分解为多个阶段模块,模拟半导体制造的组合特性,在不同晶圆类型与制造流程中均有效提升故障晶圆检测性能。大量实验验证了方法的有效性,并揭示了组合设计带来的可解释性优势,有利于实际应用。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The growing availability of sensors within semiconductor manufacturing processes makes it feasible to detect defective wafers with data-driven models. Without directly measuring the quality of semiconductor devices, they capture the modalities between diverse sensor readings and can be used to predict key quality indicators (KQI, \textit{e.g.}, roughness, resistance) to detect faulty products, significantly reducing the capital and human cost in maintaining physical metrology steps. Nevertheless, existing models pay little attention to the correlations among different processes for diverse wafer products and commonly struggle with generalizability issues. To enable generic fault detection, in this work, we propose a modular network (MN) trained using time series stage-wise datasets that embodies the structure of the manufacturing process. It decomposes KQI prediction as a combination of stage modules to simulate compositional semiconductor manufacturing, universally enhancing faulty wafer detection among different wafer types and manufacturing processes. Extensive experiments demonstrate the usefulness of our approach, and shed light on how the compositional design provides an interpretable interface for more practical applications.
