PAICe Monitor

Tool-agnostic AI semiconductor manufacturing analytics software that optimizes quality and efficiency


Uniquely Handle Massive Data Streams – Delivering Faster, More Accurate Yield Gains

Quickly Ingest and Store Raw Trace and Tool Data, Extract Insights, and Deploy Predictive Analytics for Your Process

For semiconductor fab users, components manufacturers and materials suppliers, PAICe Monitor® allows you to achieve far beyond advanced process control. PAICe Monitor discovers sources of variance that are too complex for standard SPC charts and other linear methods. With PAICe Monitor, you have the power to immediately identify complex and non-linear multivariate relationships between process variables and target metrics, automatically generate analytics to monitor for complex process deviations, and prevent future occurrences. PAICe Monitor empowers your team to consistently increase yield and engineering productivity and reduce resource consumption.

Customer Benefits


Flexible Timeline Filtering

Users can filter trace data by days, weeks, or months. For example, April 1-29 selected demo.



Chart-line Chart-line

Trace Selection & Filtering

Select specific parameters (e.g. target voltage). Filters include wafer ID, lot ID, recipe, and more. Advanced filtering based on product wafer responses (e.g., Rs mean thresholds).



Layout Layout

Trace Visualizations Modes

Stacked Traces: Overlay all traces for comparison.

Timeline View: Sequence traces by time.

Grid View: Spot anomalies across lots at a glance.

Hovering reveals metadata (voltage, substrate ID, recipe, module, etc.).



Trace Scope & Heat Mapping

Heat Map View enables time slicing and signal intensity modulation. Helps identify tool degradation or signal anomalies quickly. For example, detecting arcing/sagging in target voltage from a specific tool (e.g., “alouette”).



Gauge Gauge

Signal Intensity Control

Adjusting intensity reveals data density and variability. Useful for pinpointing subtle or emerging issues.



Doc-text Doc-text

Meta Data Focus

Users can switch focus from tools to other metadata dimensions. Enables contextual analysis across different operational layers.


Correlations

Automate mathematical analysis to uncover root causes of process issues

The Correlations tab in PAICe Monitor is designed to automate mathematical analysis to uncover root causes of process issues by analyzing trace data and logistics from manufacturing tools. Smart contextualization offers deep integration of trace and logistics data for richer insights. User-friendly visualization presents clear plots and distributions that are easy to interpret. Accelerator for new engineers helps less experienced users quickly understand key process drivers.

Data Filtering & Selection

Users can filter by time range, lot recipes, and substrate IDs. Emulated data is used for demo purposes.



Correlation Targets

Metrics like Defects, Fail Percent, Sheet Resistance Mean, and Standard Deviation are used as correlation targets.



Correlation Models

Primary Model: High-accuracy, tri-variate and smaller feature groups.

Secondary Model: Faster, less accurate.

Tertiary Model: Handless large datasets, limited to single/paired features.

Automated Feature Extraction

Ingests raw trace data and logistics (MES, recipe steps, product IDs, etc.). Automatically generates summary statistics (mean, max, range) without manual setup.



Regression & Classification Analysis

Regression reveals relationships between parameters and outcomes. Classification identifies passing vs. failing runs and builds rule sets for anomaly detection.



Eye Eye

Visualization Tools

Density plots, distribution charts, and predictability scores (e.g., R2 = 0.95). Enables intuitive understanding of parameter relationships.



Rule Set & Risky Wafer Analyzer

Automatically generated rule sets help monitor and flag risky wafers. Can be saved and reused for ongoing analysis.
