In this article, as in industry, advanced process control (APC) refers primarily to multi-variable control. Multivariable control means adjusting multiple single-loop controllers in unison, to meet ...

Aspen Technology's Elinor Price describes how advanced process control modeling and simulation can become part of the modern control room. An upcoming feature article in January, "Changing Workforce ...

Jon Herlocker, co-founder and CEO of Tignis, sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to talk about how AI in advanced process control reduces equipment variability and corrects for process drift. What ...

Onto Innovation ONTO recently unveiled two new process control solutions — Atlas S and Element S — primarily for the fast-growing silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) power device markets.

The semiconductor manufacturing process involves many steps, including, but not limited to, film deposition, photolithography, etching, and chemical mechanical polishing (CMP). Contamination can ...

Onto Innovation is a long-time holding of Bridge City Capital. However, over the last year, the share count has climbed from just over 8,000 shares one year ago to the current holding of more than ...

All of the components in a stripper chemical and stripped PR must be monitored precisely throughout the PR stripping process to minimize the likelihood of panel damage and enhance process yield ...

Overlay control based on DI metrology of optical targets has been the primary basis for run-to-run process control for many years. In previous work we described a scenario where optical overlay ...

Technological innovations throughout the past several decades have transformed the pharmaceutical manufacturing process from traditional batch production to ...
