Deep open-set recognition for silicon wafer production monitoring

作者:

Highlights:

• A novel solution to monitor the production of silicon wafers by Deep Learning models.

• A crucial problem for semiconductor industry, challenging due to the huge input size.

• We accurately address wafer monitoring as an open-set recognition problem.

• Our network can process huge inputs as lists of defects, without loss of information.

• We employ latent representation of our deep model to identify novel patterns.
