Machine Learning Methods for Automated Macro-Inspection and Improved Defect Identification in Semiconductor Manufacturing

This thesis proposes four methods to improve macro-inspection capability of defects on wafers at a semiconductor wafer fab. First, an investigation into the performance of current inspection tools is done, revealing results that are not reliable nor reproducible. Tool maintenance procedures and spec...
