This well-respected work discusses the use of digital computers in the real-time control of dynamic systems. The emphasis is on the design of digital controls that achieve good dynamic response and small errors while using signals that are sampled in time and...
This Case Study describes an approach to combining physical principles with Machine Learning (ML) for modeling and control of complex systems. Our approach was developed as part of a DARPA-funded research project. It was applied to oil reservoir management. While this...
SC Solutions’ Macro Defect Detection system, SC‐MDD™, is a production‐proven tool that rapidly detects and classifies macro defects for every wafer being processed. SC‐MDD™ includes scanner hardware as well as SC‐WDD™ software which controls the scanning process,...
This case study of epitaxial deposition of silicon film on a silicon substrate in a horizontal hot-wall reactor reproduces an earlier modeling study by Habuka et al. [1]. The steady-state finite element (FEM) model incorporates fluid flow, heat transfer, dilute...
Physics-based MOCVD models are useful in many ways including model-based control, design of next-generation chambers, virtual sensing and process optimization. As a capability demonstration, SC Solutions has developed a finite element (FEM) model of a chamber shown...
