PAICe Maker

AI-driven advanced process control solution for manufacturing that automatically adapts to process drifts over time


Closed-Loop Artificial Intelligence Software Controller

Reduces Process Variability and Human Intervention Leading to Improved Yield, Quality, Costs, and Resilience

PAICe Maker® enables semiconductor equipment makers, components manufacturers and materials suppliers to accelerate time to market and solve previously unsolvable problems. PAICe Maker also empowers your current and next-generation tools to automatically make sophisticated optimization adjustments on a per-wafer or even continuous basis, significantly reducing process variance. Dramatically advance your R&D efforts to stay ahead of future process complexities, as well as seamlessly deliver upgraded capability to your existing fab customers.

PAICe MAKER IS MASSIVELY MULTIVARIATE 


PAICe Maker can control systems in response to millions of complex measured properties while accounting for non-linear interactions.

PAICe MAKER IS ADAPTIVE AND IMMEDIATE 


Machine learning continuously improves as data is collected, helping the process controller self-tune to compensate for simulation model error, environmental changes, product changes, or equipment drift. Physics-driven AI runs millions of times faster than legacy simulations, enabling real-time wafer-to-wafer recipe recommendations.

PAICe MAKER IS PREDICTIVE


Virtual metrology is built into the controller, enabling inline and downstream process modification for better yield. For each control iteration, you can select optimal control values as well accurately predict the outcome.
