Abstract: Semiconductor manufacturers aim to fabricate defect-free wafers in order to improve product quality, increase yields, and reduce costs. Typically, wafer defects form spatial patterns that ...

Machine learning is the ability of a machine to improve its performance based on previous results. Machine learning methods enable computers to learn without being explicitly programmed and have ...

Abstract: Metal surface defect recognition (MSDR) based on deep learning encounters the challenge of few-shot expert-labeled data. In this study, we proposed a CLIP-vision guided self supervised ...

AI plays a role in improving defect capture rate and distinguishing between yield-killing and nuisance defects. New developments in wafer edge inspection are proving essential to bonded wafer yields.

The human brain actively keeps "learning" in balance by holding on to what matters and letting go of what does not.
