PHYSICS, MACHINES AND DATA

Generative AI is a natural-language or text-based query, predicting patterns based on a massive set of data. While most of the attention has been focused on chatbots and copilots, it also can be used to identify small, transient aberrations in semiconductor manufacturing that are otherwise difficult to find. @Jon Herlocker, VP and General Manager of the Software Analytics Group at Cohu, Inc., talks with Semiconductor Engineering about how large language models can be used to improve yield and predict potential problems, how these systems work, and what to watch out for when using this technology.
