摘要:
A control system configured to use a database and a data storage area includes a control device for controlling a process executed on an object; and an image processing device arranged in association with the control device for taking an image of the object and processing image data acquired from taking the image of the object. The control device and the image processing device may work independently or collaboratively to send the database at least one of an attribute value or results information, and designation information in association with each other for the same object, the attribute value managed by the control device and corresponding to any attribute defined in the database, the results information representing a process result from the image processing device, and the designation information specifying a storage destination in the data storage area for the image data acquired from taking an image of the object.

In operation to obtain an optimal observation condition in a review system, the number of trial reviews can be reduced to improve efficiency of the operation. For a defect review conducted by the review system, a recipe parameter management system stores, as recipe parameter setting history in a recipe parameter setting history DB, recipe parameter setting values of recipe parameters set when the defect review is conducted, the number of trial reviews carried out until the recipe parameter setting values are set, and defect images obtained when the defect review is conducted. The apparatus displays, on a terminal, histograms and the numbers of trial reviews generated based on the recipe parameter setting history data stored in the recipe parameter setting history DB. Hence, the operator can easily obtain data regarding the recipe parameter setting in the past.

Soldering condition information such as the position and angle of a soldering iron, amount of solder supplied and heating time is stored beforehand, for each grouping of parts, in a part classification table (26) for soldering purposes. Parts to be mounted on a board are stored, in correspondence with the board ID, on a floppy disk of a floppy disk device (24). When the board ID is entered, the parts to be mounted on the board are displayed on a display unit (23). The operator reads out the part classification table (26) for soldering purposes and designates soldering correction information that corresponds to the part groups to which the parts belong. As a result, a teach-data table (27) in which soldering condition information has been stored in correspondence with the parts is created. Soldering is executed automatically in accordance with the teach-data table (27).

Controlling product production in multi-stage manufacturing process automatically generates by machine learning causal relationships between the processing conditions and the product quality based on product genealogy data and product quality data. Real time sensor data from sensors coupled to processing units in a manufacturing facility implementing the multi-stage manufacturing process are received, and control rules are instantiated based on the real time sensor data. An instantiated control rule firing causes an actuator to automatically set a processing variable to a set point specified in the control rule.

An inspection management system having a plurality of processes and managing final inspection performed to inspect a completed product and one or more intermediate inspections performed to inspect an intermediate product manufactured in the processes earlier than a final process includes: an inspection content data acquisition unit that acquires inspection content data including an inspection standard for each inspection item of the product; an inspection content setting unit that sets inspection content based on the inspection content data acquired by the inspection content data acquisition unit; a simulation unit that simulates inspection in accordance with assumed inspection content; an inspection standard calculation unit that calculates an inspection standard more appropriate than a current inspection standard based on the simulation; and an output unit that outputs base information indicating that at least the inspection standard calculated by the inspection standard calculation unit is more appropriate than the current inspection standard.

Provided is a method of controlling a fabrication cluster using a machine learning system, the machine learning system trained developed using an optical metrology model. A simulated approximation diffraction signal is generated based on an approximation diffraction model of the structure. A set of difference diffraction signal is obtained by subtracting the simulated approximation diffraction signal from each of simulated fine diffraction signals and paired with the corresponding profile parameters. A first machine learning system is trained using the pairs of difference diffraction signal and corresponding profile parameters. A library of simulated fine diffraction signals and profile parameters is generated using the trained first machine learning system and using ranges and corresponding resolutions of the profile parameters. A measured diffraction signal is input into the trained second machine learning system to determine at least one profile parameter. The at least one profile parameter is used to adjust at least one process parameter or equipment setting of the fabrication cluster.
