Detailed Description
The following describes specific embodiments of a method and an apparatus for obtaining a normal state control range of a management and control diagram, and a computer readable medium according to the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The current method for acquiring the normal state control range in the control graph is based on an empirical rule, namely the normal state control range of each control graph is limited to [ mean value-alpha multiplied by standard variance, mean value + alpha multiplied by standard variance ], alpha is a constant and is determined according to artificial experience; or, the normality control range of each control graph is limited to [ average value-average value × k%, average value + average value × k% ], wherein k is a constant and is determined according to manual experience. However, the current method of setting the normal state control range based on the rule of thumb is only suitable for the case where the statistical distribution curve corresponding to the index graph is normally distributed. When the statistical distribution curve graph is in off-peak distribution, due to the fact that the interval definition of a normal value and an off-value cannot be accurately obtained, the normal state control range defined by the empirical rule causes that one side of the control graph is limited too tightly and the false alarm rate is high, and the other side of the control graph is limited too loosely and the false alarm rate is high. When the statistical distribution curve chart is in multimodal distribution, due to the fact that the interval definition of a normal value and a deviation value cannot be accurately obtained, the normal state control range defined by the empirical rule causes that the limits on two sides of the control chart are too loose, and the missing report rate is high. When the index map is in multiple distribution, the normal control range of the control map cannot be directly limited by an empirical rule.
In order to improve the accuracy and reliability of the normal state control range limitation in the control diagram, the present embodiment provides a method for obtaining the normal state control range in the control diagram, and fig. 1A is a flowchart of the method for obtaining the normal state control range in the control diagram in the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1A, the method for obtaining the normal state control range of the management and control map includes the following steps:
in step S11, the original parameter data of the wafer processed by the production machine is received.
Step S12, obtaining an index map according to the original parameter data, where the index map is a time-dependent variation curve of the single evaluation value of the production machine.
Specifically, the abscissa of the index map is the wafer numbers arranged in time sequence, and the ordinate is the evaluation value. The evaluation value in the index map in the present embodiment may be an average value, a standard deviation, a maximum value, a minimum value, or the like. The production tool may be a tool for performing any process on a wafer, such as a photolithography tool, a film deposition tool, and the like. Fig. 1B is a schematic structural diagram of a manufacturing tool according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which a solid arrow in fig. 1B represents a transmission path of a wafer entering the manufacturing tool for semiconductor process, and a dotted arrow represents a transmission path of the wafer exiting the manufacturing tool after the semiconductor process is completed. Taking the manufacturing machine shown in fig. 1B as an example, the transfer structure transfers the wafer 20 to the load port 21 of the manufacturing machine, and then enters the transfer chamber 22 inside the manufacturing machine through the load port 21. The wafers 20 entering the transfer chamber 22 are aligned in the orienter 23 inside the production tool, and then are transferred to the processing chamber 24, and the processing chamber 24 is used for performing semiconductor process on the wafers 20. The wafers are transferred out of the manufacturing tool after being processed in the processing chamber 24. One or more sensors are disposed in the processing chamber 24 in the production tool for acquiring various raw parameter data of the production tool during the production process (i.e., during the semiconductor process on the wafer). And sequentially enabling a plurality of wafers to enter the production machine for semiconductor process treatment, and obtaining the index map according to original parameter data of the plurality of wafers acquired by the sensor in the semiconductor process treatment process. And after a normal state control range (including the upper limit of the normal state control range and the lower limit of the normal state control range) is set in the index map, a control map of the production machine can be obtained. FDC analysis can be carried out on the production machine through the control graph, so that the health condition of the production machine is monitored.
Step S13, obtaining a statistical distribution graph of the evaluation values in the indicator graph.
Specifically, the statistical distribution graph is obtained by analyzing the evaluation value data in the index map. The abscissa of the statistical distribution graph is an evaluation value, and the ordinate is the number of occurrences of the evaluation value in the index map or the ratio of the number of occurrences of the evaluation value in the index map. The statistical distribution profile may be a normal distribution curve, a biased peak profile, a multi-peak profile, or a multi-histogram profile.
Optionally, the specific step of obtaining the statistical distribution graph of the evaluation values in the indicator graph includes:
acquiring an initial statistical distribution curve graph according to data of all the evaluation values in the index graph;
and denoising the initial statistical distribution curve graph to obtain the statistical distribution curve graph.
Specifically, since there may be a small peak in the initial statistical distribution graph caused by a deviation value (i.e., an evaluation value generated due to various abnormal conditions, such as an evaluation value generated by restarting a production machine after the production machine stops operating due to preventive maintenance of the machine, manual shutdown, downtime, and the like), in order to avoid that such a small peak affects accurate setting of a normal state control range of the control map, the initial statistical distribution graph may be denoised to remove the small peak caused by the deviation value, so as to form the statistical distribution graph. The specific denoising method can be selected by those skilled in the art according to actual needs, as long as the denoising effect can be achieved.
Optionally, the specific step of performing denoising processing on the initial statistical distribution graph includes:
and removing the data of one or two end preset proportion ranges of the initial statistical distribution curve graph.
Specifically, since the normal state control range in the control map is continuous, small peaks generated by deviation values appear at two ends of an initial statistical distribution curve, and in order to simplify the denoising operation, data in a preset proportion range at one or two ends of the initial statistical distribution curve may be removed, so as to form the statistical distribution curve. Wherein, the preset proportion range can be but is not limited to 5%.
Optionally, the specific step of obtaining the statistical distribution graph of the evaluation values in the indicator graph includes:
judging whether the index map has multiple distributions, if so, performing differential processing on the index map;
and acquiring a statistical distribution curve chart of the index graph after the differential processing.
FIGS. 4A-4B are schematic diagrams of multiple distributions of indices in accordance with embodiments of the present invention. The mean value of the evaluation values of different production periods of the same production machine will produce a shift of higher or lower, and the obtained index map is shown in fig. 4A. In addition, when the production tool is used for a long time, the evaluation value of the same type will be displayed in an upward or downward trend as a whole, and the obtained index graph is shown in fig. 4B. The method includes the steps that firstly, differential processing is carried out on the index graphs of the multiple distributions, and then a statistical distribution curve chart of the index graphs after the differential processing is obtained, so that the statistical distribution graph of the multiple distributions is obtained, in order to convert the statistical distribution graph of the multiple distributions into biased peak distribution or multimodal distribution and remove influences of mean shift of the evaluation values caused by different time periods in the index graphs, normal state control ranges of the control graphs are conveniently set subsequently.
Optionally, the specific step of performing differential processing on the indicator graph includes:
and judging whether a position with amplitude potential difference larger than a first preset value exists in the index map, and if so, performing first-order differential processing on the index map.
Optionally, the specific step of performing differential processing on the indicator graph includes:
and judging whether the position with the amplitude surge larger than a second preset value exists in the index map, and if so, performing second-order differential processing on the index map.
Optionally, the specific step of performing differential processing on the indicator graph includes:
and judging whether the position with the amplitude turn larger than a third preset value exists in the index map, and if so, performing third-order differential processing on the index map.
Fig. 5A to 5C are schematic diagrams of differential processing performed on the index maps with different characteristics in the embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 6 is a corresponding relationship diagram between the index maps with different differential processing and a statistical distribution curve chart in the embodiment of the present invention. Aiming at the multiple distribution index maps with different characteristics, different differentiation modes are adopted, so that the normal state control range of the control map is better limited. For example, as shown in fig. 6, when the original index map composed of the original data is statistically analyzed, the original index map has multiple distributions, and the obtained statistical distribution graph has multiple distributions. When there is a relatively large amplitude position difference position (for example, a position where the amplitude position difference is greater than a first preset value) in the original index map, a first order differential process is performed on the original index map, as shown in fig. 5A. The statistical distribution curve graph of the multi-peak or off-peak distribution is obtained by performing statistical analysis on the indicator graph after the first-order differential processing, as shown in fig. 6. When there is a relatively large amplitude surge position (for example, a position where the amplitude surge is greater than the second preset value) in the original index map, the second order differential processing is performed on the original index map, as shown in fig. 5B. The statistical distribution curve graph of the multi-peak or off-peak distribution is obtained by performing statistical analysis on the indicator graph after the second-order differential processing, as shown in fig. 6. When there is a relatively large amplitude turning position (for example, a position where the amplitude turning is greater than a third preset value) in the original indicator graph, a third order differential process is performed on the original indicator graph, as shown in fig. 5C. By performing statistical analysis on the indicator graph after the third-order differential processing, the statistical distribution curve graph of the multi-peak or partial peak distribution is obtained, as shown in fig. 6. Specific numerical values of the first preset value, the second preset value and the third preset value can be set by a person skilled in the art according to actual needs.
Step S14, obtaining the left center point evaluation value c of the leftmost peak in the statistical distribution curve graphlRightmost side, aEvaluation value c of right center point of peakrAnd the center point estimate c of the center point of the center peakc
Optionally, the left center point evaluation values c of the leftmost peak in the statistical distribution graph are obtained respectivelylRight center point evaluation value c of rightmost peakrAnd the center point estimate c of the center point of the center peakcThe method comprises the following specific steps:

Optionally, the left center point evaluation values c of the leftmost peak in the statistical distribution graph are obtained respectivelylRight center point evaluation value c of rightmost peakrAnd the center point estimate c of the center point of the center peakcThe method comprises the following specific steps:

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the conversion of a biased peak distribution to two normal distributions in an embodiment of the present invention. The statistical distribution graph is described as a biased peak distribution graph. Since there is only one peak in the partial peak profile, as shown in fig. 2, it can be considered that the leftmost peak, the rightmost peak and the middle peak in the partial peak profile coincide with each other, that is, the left center point evaluation value c of the leftmost peaklRight center point evaluation value c of rightmost peakrAnd the center point estimate c of the center point of the center peakcThe peak central point evaluation values c in the biased peak distribution curve are all equal. In this embodiment, a normal distribution can also be considered as a subset of a biased peak distribution.
FIG. 3 is an embodiment of the present inventionTo convert a multimodal distribution into two normal distributions. In the following description, the statistical distribution graph is a multimodal distribution graph, and μ in fig. 3 represents a mean value of all evaluation values in the index graph. As shown in fig. 3, the small peak at the right side of the statistical distribution graph of the multi-peak distribution (i.e., the peak indicated by the dotted arrow in fig. 3) is the small peak due to the deviation value, i.e., noise, and therefore, the small peak due to the deviation value at the right end of the statistical distribution curve in the multi-peak distribution shown in fig. 3 can be excluded. Then, respectively obtaining the left central point estimated value c of the leftmost peak in the statistical distribution curve chart by a K-mean clustering method or other statistical algorithmslRight center point evaluation value c of rightmost peakrAnd the evaluation value c of the center point of the middle peakc(not shown in fig. 3).

Specifically, all raw data in the statistical distribution curve is X. Based on all the evaluation values c which are less than or equal to the left central point in the statistical distribution curve graphlIs Y, and its evaluation value c is obtained from the left center point by the following formulalLeft side standard deviation s as meanl

Wherein i is a positive integer.
For example, for the statistical distribution graph of the biased peak distribution in fig. 2, the peak center point evaluated value c in the statistical distribution graph is obtained, and the peak center point evaluated value is simultaneously used as the left center point evaluated value clRight center point evaluation value crAnd an intermediate center point evaluation value cc. And regarding the data on the left side of the peak center point as one normal distribution, and regarding the data on the right side of the peak center point as the other normal distribution. The solid line in the normal distribution curve of fig. 2 represents actual data in the index graph, and the dotted line in the normal distribution curve represents dummy data (which is not actually present in the index graph) supplemented when calculating data to the left of the peak center point as one normal distribution and calculating data to the right of the peak center point as another normal distribution. When the partial peak distribution curves are regarded as the two normal distribution curves, the proportion of the actual data in each normal distribution curve reaches 99.73%, so that the accuracy and the reliability of the normal control range obtained by regarding the partial peak distribution curves as the two normal distribution curves are high.
For another example, for the statistical distribution graph having a multi-peak distribution as in fig. 3, after determining the leftmost peak, the rightmost peak, and the middle peak, the left center point evaluation values c of the leftmost peak in the statistical distribution graph are directly obtained respectivelylRight center point evaluation value c of rightmost peakrAnd the center point estimate c of the center point of the center peakc. Combining the part at the left side of the leftmost peak and the part at the right side of the rightmost peak into a partial peak distribution curve, and then regarding the combined partial peak distribution curve as two normal distributions, namely, regarding the estimated value c of the center point at the left sidelRegarding the left part as a biased peak distribution, and evaluating the right center point value crThe right part is considered as another off-peak distribution.
