    Abstract: Embodiments presented herein provide techniques for predicting the topography of a product produced from a manufacturing process. One embodiment includes generating a plurality of prediction models. Each of the plurality of prediction models corresponds to a respective one of a plurality of positional coordinates of a product produced from a manufacturing process. The method also includes receiving a set of user-specified input parameters to apply to the manufacturing control process. The method further includes generating a graphical representation of a topography map for the product for the user-specified of input parameters based on the plurality of prediction models.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for automated monitoring of sensors associated with a tool used in a manufacturing process are described. Sensor health may be evaluated based on the sensor's actual responses to set point changes. Rather than interrupt operation of the tool to determine whether one or more sensors are behaving in a predictable manner over an applicable range of operating conditions, pairs of set point values and sensor responses may be collected during the manufacturing process and stored in a time-indexed manner. A virtual model may be created for each sensor using selected ones of the indexed pairs and represented as points in an orthogonal coordinate system to identify a predictable operating region corresponding to the operating range. If a sensor response to a set point change, reflected in a stored, time indexed pair, is non-linear or offset relative to the predictable operating region, an alarm may be generated.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided for classifying runs of a recipe within a manufacturing environment. Embodiments monitor a plurality of runs of a recipe to collect runtime data from a plurality of sensors within a manufacturing environment. Qualitative data describing each semiconductor devices produced by the plurality of runs is determined. Embodiments characterize each run into a respective group, based on an analysis of the qualitative data, and generate a data model based on the collected runtime data. A multivariate analysis of additional runtime data collected during at least one subsequent run of the recipe is performed to classify the at least one subsequent run into a first group. Upon classifying the at least one subsequent run, embodiments output for display an interface depicting a ranking sensor types based on the additional runtime data and the description of relative importance of each sensor type for the first group within the data model.
