Data-driven automated control algorithm for floating-zone crystal growth derived by reinforcement learning

Abstract The complete automation of materials manufacturing with high productivity is a key problem in some materials processing. In floating zone (FZ) crystal growth, which is a manufacturing process for semiconductor wafers such as silicon, an operator adaptively controls the input parameters in a...
