Unsupervised novelty pattern classification of shmoo plots for visualizing the test results of integrated circuits

作者:

Highlights:

• Shmoo plots in semiconductor manufacturing are used for indicating device state.

• We address high-dimensional and multiclass imbalance challenges for shmoo plots.

• We introduce a feature extraction process for presenting clear shmoo plot patterns.

• We propose a two-stage clustering process to solve multiclass imbalance situations.

• To demonstrate the applicability of the proposed model, real field data is used.
