It’s not, “You say ‘tomato’ and I say ‘tomahto.’ ” With advanced process controls (APCs), you either know what they are or you don’t. If you do know, you know they give for-real, money-in-your-pocket ...

In this article, as in industry, advanced process control (APC) refers primarily to multi-variable control. Multivariable control means adjusting multiple single-loop controllers in unison, to meet ...

Advanced logic scaling has created some difficult technical challenges, including a requirement for highly dense patterning. Imec recently confronted this challenge, by working toward the use of Metal ...

Rockwell Automation Pavilion8 Model Predictive Control (MPC) software now empowers engineers to design and execute step tests faster, safer and more accurately. Unlike manual step tests that must be ...

Just over a decade ago, an article titled, "Advanced Control Strategies Move into the Field" (Control, October 2008), highlighted three evolving trends in the process control world that would "make ...

Jon Herlocker, co-founder and CEO of Tignis, sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to talk about how AI in advanced process control reduces equipment variability and corrects for process drift. What ...

Algorithms that respond to real-time feedback and can learn to respond to experimental irregularities can help deal with the complexities of biological manufacturing. That’s the subject of a talk due ...

Researchers have developed a novel computational framework to monitor and optimize proton ceramic electrochemical reactors ...

Onto Innovation's Atlas G6 optical critical dimension (OCD) metrology system delivers enhanced signal sensitivity, smaller spot size, and advanced precision for process control in next generation gate ...

An off-line experiment was performed to estimate a model for on-line process control which describes the empirical relationship between the design and production factors affecting the front wheel ...

The Atlas ® G6 system delivers smaller spot size, higher signal sensitivity and enhanced precision for next generation gate-all-around and high bandwidth memory device production The Atlas G6 system ...
