在半导体行业中,集成电路(IC)工艺复杂度上升,市场对良率要求提高。准确识别缺陷并将测试任务分配给合适工程师,可提升效率并减少损失。现有研究多聚焦故障定位或缺陷分类,却忽视了缺陷特征、历史失败记录与工程师经验的整合,限制了实际效果。为此,本文提出DeCo,一种面向IC测试任务优化分配的新方法。DeCo从测试报告构建缺陷感知图,捕捉共现缺陷关系,增强缺陷区分能力,尤其适用于缺陷数据稀缺场景。同时,通过局部与全局结构建模,生成工程师与任务的缺陷感知表示。最终,采用对比式分配机制,综合考虑工程师技能水平与当前负荷,实现公平高效的任务派遣。在真实数据集上的实验表明,DeCo在多种场景下任务处理成功率超过80%,且在缺陷数据稀疏或扩充时均保持工作负载均衡。案例研究显示,即使面对不熟悉缺陷,DeCo也能将任务分配给潜在胜任的工程师,展现出其在真实世界中故障分析与任务管理中的应用潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In the semiconductor industry, integrated circuit (IC) processes play a vital role, as the rising complexity and market expectations necessitate improvements in yield. Identifying IC defects and assigning IC testing tasks to the right engineers improves efficiency and reduces losses. While current studies emphasize fault localization or defect classification, they overlook the integration of defect characteristics, historical failures, and the insights from engineer expertise, which restrains their effectiveness in improving IC handling. To leverage AI for these challenges, we propose DeCo, an innovative approach for optimizing task assignment in IC testing. DeCo constructs a novel defect-aware graph from IC testing reports, capturing co-failure relationships to enhance defect differentiation, even with scarce defect data. Additionally, it formulates defect-aware representations for engineers and tasks, reinforced by local and global structure modeling on the defect-aware graph. Finally, a contrasting-based assignment mechanism pairs testing tasks with QA engineers by considering their skill level and current workload, thus promoting an equitable and efficient job dispatch. Experiments on a real-world dataset demonstrate that DeCo achieves the highest task-handling success rates in different scenarios, exceeding 80\%, while also maintaining balanced workloads on both scarce or expanded defect data. Moreover, case studies reveal that DeCo can assign tasks to potentially capable engineers, even for their unfamiliar defects, highlighting its potential as an AI-driven solution for the real-world IC failure analysis and task handling.
