Popis: Virtual metrology (VM) aims to predict metrology values using sensor data from production equipment and physical metrology values of preceding samples. VM is a promising technology for the semiconductor manufacturing industry as it can reduce the frequency of in-line metrology operations and provide supportive information for other operations such as fault detection, predictive maintenance and run-to-run control. Methods with minimal user intervention are required to perform VM in a real-time industrial process. In this paper we propose extreme learning machines (ELM) as a competitive alternative to popular methods like lasso and ridge regression for developing VM models. In addition, we propose a new way to choose the hidden layer weights of ELMs that leads to an improvement in its prediction performance.
