New virtual metrology approach tackles small production datasets for phototransistor gain

A new research paper introduces a hierarchical, uncertainty-aware approach for virtual metrology in phototransistor gain prediction, specifically designed for small production datasets. The study, conducted on a real fabrication history, found that a significant portion of device gain variance occurs between process runs rather than within them, limiting purely recipe-based prediction. The proposed method includes a forward gain predictor with an uncertainty signal and an inverse search for target gain, underpinned by a multi-level data-quality assessment that links fabrication entities like batch, wafer, and die.

    Forward and Inverse Virtual Metrology for Phototransistor Gain: A Hierarchical, Uncertainty-Aware Approach for Small Production Datasets

    arXiv:2608.11868v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The customization, optimization and stabilization of the process flow of a silicon bipolar phototransistor commits months of cleanroom time before a finished device can be measured, so a model that predicts device gain from process …
