Modular AI Defect Inspection Solution for Efficient Semiconductor Equipment Upgrades
Smasoft Technology Co., Ltd., a System Integrator that develops industrial automation software and offers AI application solutions, was commissioned by a semiconductor equipment manufacturer to implement AI inspection features into their Extreme Ultraviolet Light (EUV) pod inspection machines. The existing AOI software in the EUV pod inspection machines could only identify defective products but could not trace the cause of the defects. The manufacturer wanted to upgrade their machines with AI features to make the products more useful. The AI solution needed to complete the analysis of 380 images for a single pod within two minutes and inspect different materials simultaneously. This required multiple sets of AI models for interpretation. The solution also needed to be installed in a cabinet in the lower half of the machines, which posed a challenge due to the limited space. Smasoft needed to purchase a hardware solution with strong computing performance, stable operation, compact size, and flexible configuration to overcome these challenges.

Optimizing Semiconductor Manufacturing Yield with IoT
A large U.S.-based manufacturer of high-performance semiconductors was facing a significant challenge in optimizing the manufacturing process of its wireless products. The company, which designs and delivers a broad set of cutting-edge products including radio frequency filters, amplifiers, modulators, attenuators, and more, was experiencing lower than expected overall yield in some of its most complex products. This was affecting the company's productivity and profitability, and there was a need for a solution that could predict low-yield wafers early in the process and identify process improvements to increase overall yield.
