Chapter 5 Fault Detection & Classification (FDC)

This chapter covers Chapter 5 Fault Detection & Classification (FDC). You will learn Isolation Forest.

Learning Objectives

  • Master multivariate anomaly detection using Multivariate SPC (MSPC)
  • Understand Isolation Forest and its applications to semiconductor manufacturing
  • Learn implementation methods for time-series anomaly detection using LSTM
  • Master techniques for identifying root causes of failures using causal inference
  • Understand methods for improving machine learning model interpretability using SHAP values

5.1 Importance of Fault Detection & Classification (FDC)

5.1.1 Role of FDC

In semiconductor manufacturing, early detection of process anomalies is key to improving yield. FDC systems provide:

  • Fault Detection: Real-time detection of process anomalies
  • Fault Classification: Automatic diagnosis of anomaly types
  • Root Cause Analysis: Identification of true causes of anomalies
  • Predictive Maintenance: Detection of abnormal signs before failure

5.1.2 Economic Value of Early Detection

Downtime Reduction: 1 hour of stoppage = tens of millions of yen in losses

Defect Reduction: Delayed anomaly detection can result in hundreds of defective wafers

Yield Improvement: Early response leads to 2-5% yield improvement

Maintenance Cost Reduction: Preventive maintenance reduces corrective maintenance costs to 1/3

5.1.3 Advantages of AI-FDC

Advantages of AI over conventional threshold-based FDC:

  • Multivariate Correlation: Detects complex correlations among 100+ sensors
  • Micro-change Detection: Identifies abnormal patterns within normal ranges
  • False Positive Reduction: Reduces false positive rate to 1/10 or less
  • Unknown Anomaly Detection: Discovers novel anomalies not included in training data

5.2 Multivariate Statistical Process Control (MSPC)

5.2.1 Principles of MSPC

MSPC reduces multivariate data dimensionality using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and detects anomalies with statistical control charts:

Principal Component Analysis (PCA)

Project observed variables \(\mathbf{x} \in \mathbb{R}^m\) onto principal component space:

$$\mathbf{t} = \mathbf{P}^T (\mathbf{x} - \bar{\mathbf{x}})$$

\(\mathbf{P}\): Principal component vector matrix, \(\bar{\mathbf{x}}\): Mean

Hotelling's T² Statistic

Detects anomalies within principal component space (model variation):

$$T^2 = \mathbf{t}^T \mathbf{\Lambda}^{-1} \mathbf{t}$$

\(\mathbf{\Lambda}\): Variance matrix of principal components

Upper Control Limit (UCL): 99th percentile of \(\chi^2\) distribution

Squared Prediction Error (SPE)

Detects anomalies outside principal component space (residual variation):

$$SPE = \|\mathbf{x} - \hat{\mathbf{x}}\|^2 = \|\mathbf{x} - \mathbf{P}\mathbf{t} - \bar{\mathbf{x}}\|^2$$

Control Limit: Calculated from SPE distribution of normal data

5.3 Anomaly Detection with Isolation Forest

5.3.1 Principles of Isolation Forest

Isolation Forest exploits the property that anomalous data is "easy to isolate" (can be separated with fewer splits):

Algorithm

  1. Randomly select features and split values
  2. Recursively split data into binary (construct Binary Tree)
  3. Record number of splits (Tree Depth)
  4. Calculate anomaly score from average depth across multiple trees

Anomaly Score

$$s(x, n) = 2^{-\frac{E(h(x))}{c(n)}}$$

\(E(h(x))\): Average Tree depth, \(c(n)\): Normalization constant

\(s \approx 1\): Anomaly, \(s \approx 0.5\): Normal

5.4.1 Principles of LSTM Autoencoder

Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is a type of RNN that can learn long-term dependencies in time-series data. It learns normal patterns with an Autoencoder structure and detects anomalies through reconstruction error:

5.5 Summary

In this chapter, we learned AI implementation methods for Fault Detection & Classification (FDC) in semiconductor manufacturing:

Key Learning Content

1. Multivariate SPC (MSPC)

  • Dimensionality reduction with PCA captures multivariate correlations
  • Hotelling's T² & SPE detect two types of anomalies
  • Contribution Plot identifies anomalous variables
  • Dynamic PCA handles time-series correlations

2. Isolation Forest

  • Unsupervised learning detects unknown anomalies
  • Fast and scalable (handles 1 million samples)
  • Anomaly scores for prioritization
  • AUC-ROC > 0.95 achieving high accuracy

3. LSTM Autoencoder

  • Time-series pattern learning detects anomalous waveforms
  • Reconstruction error-based detection
  • Long-term dependencies captured (50+ steps)
  • Visualization clearly shows anomalous locations

Practical Results

  • Anomaly detection rate: 95% or higher (conventional 70%)
  • False positive rate: 5% or lower (conventional 20%)
  • Detection time: 0.1 seconds or less (real-time capable)
  • Downtime reduction: Hundreds of millions of yen in annual cost savings
