Abstract

This paper describes methods and evaluation results of predicting the number of defects in image sensors using equipment QC data. Virtual metrology (VM) models are mainly used for measurable values such as dimensions and electrical characteristics. Herein, to predict countable values, we used a regression tree and stepwise AIC for variable selection as well as the “hockey-stick regression model” and generalized linear model for regression, instead of the partial least squares (PLS) regression. The results showed an improved prediction performance in comparison with the conventional method. This method can be used to predict other countable values such as defects or dust particles.
