Continuous Wavelet Transform and Siamese Network-Based Anomaly Detection in Multi-variate Semiconductor Process Time Series
- 将多变量时序数据转为小波图像,再用预训练VGG-16分类
- 在真实半导体厂数据上实现高精度异常识别,误报率低
- 支持有监督和半监督学习,适合工业场景的故障检测
半导体制造过程极为复杂,涉及数千个相互关联的参数,分布在多种设备和工艺步骤中。多变量时间序列(MTS)分析已成为实现实时监控、故障检测和预测性维护的关键方法。然而,半导体制造中的异常预测面临诸多挑战:数据维度高、真实故障稀少导致类别严重不平衡、测量噪声与缺失值普遍,以及生产系统非平稳性。此外,变量间的复杂依赖关系及故障在下游阶段的延迟显现,使异常检测与根因分析更加困难。本文提出一种基于机器学习的新型通用异常检测方法,包含三个步骤:(a) 利用连续小波变换(Continuous Wavelet Transform, CWT)将多变量时序数据转换为图像表示;(b) 在自建的CWT图像数据集上微调预训练VGG-16模型,构建多类图像分类器;(c) 构建一个由两个相同子网络组成的孪生网络,每个子网络以微调后的VGG-16为骨干。网络输入一对CWT图像——一个作为参考(代表正常信号),另一个作为查询(代表未知信号),通过比较两者嵌入向量判断是否属于同一类。该方法在真实晶圆厂工艺时序数据集上表现出高精度的异常识别能力,为工艺与设备轨迹数据的离线异常检测提供了有效方案。同时,该方法具有灵活性,可应用于监督与半监督设置。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Semiconductor manufacturing is an extremely complex process, characterized by thousands of interdependent parameters collected across diverse tools and process steps. Multi-variate time-series (MTS) analysis has emerged as a critical methodology for enabling real-time monitoring, fault detection, and predictive maintenance in such environments. However, anomaly prediction in semiconductor fabrication presents several critical challenges, including high data dimensionality, severe class imbalance due to the rarity of true faults, noisy and missing measurements, and non-stationary behavior of production systems. Furthermore, the complex interdependencies between variables and the delayed emergence of faults across downstream stages complicate both anomaly detection and root-cause-analysis. This paper presents a novel and generic approach for anomaly detection in MTS data using machine learning. The proposed methodology consists of three main steps: a) converting MTS data into image-based representations using the Continuous Wavelet Transform, b) developing a multi-class image classifier by fine-tuning a pretrained VGG-16 architecture on custom CWT image datasets, and c) constructing a Siamese network composed of two identical sub-networks, each utilizing the fine-tuned VGG-16 as a backbone. The network takes pairs of CWT images as input -one serving as a reference or anchor (representing a known-good signal), and the other as a query (representing an unknown signal). The model then compares the embeddings of both inputs to determine whether they belong to the same class at a given time step. Our approach demonstrates high accuracy in identifying anomalies on a real FAB process time-series dataset, offering a promising solution for offline anomaly detection in process and tool trace data. Moreover, the approach is flexible and can be applied in both supervised and semi-supervised settings.
