Popis: Outlier detection of semiconductor devices is important since manufacturing variation is inherently inevitable. In order to properly detect outliers, it is necessary to consider the discrepancy from underlying trend. Conventional methods are insufficient as they cannot track spatial changes of the trend}}. This study proposes an adaptive outlier detection using Gaussian process regression (GPR) with Student-t likelihood, which captures a gradual spatial change of characteristic variation. According to the credible interval of the GPR posterior distribution, the devices having excessively large deviations against the underlying trend are detected. The proposed methodology is validated by the experiments using a commercial SiC wafer and simulation.
