About This Course

This 3-day, hands-on course is designed to help participants turn fab/process data into higher wafer yields by leveraging leakage-safe machine learning (ML), explainability techniques (such as SHAP), and Run-to-Run (R2R) control/Advanced Process Control (APC). Participants will build and evaluate predictors, prototype virtual metrology, and leave with a practical, data-backed plan to improve wafer yield.

Aim

The course will empower participants to convert fab data into measurable yield gains using cutting-edge ML, explainability methods, and R2R/APC techniques.
