Abstract
Existing etch endpoint detection (EPD) methods, primarily based on single wavelengths, have limitations, such as low signal-to-noise ratios and the inability to consider the long-term dependencies of time series data. To address these issues, this study proposes a context of time series data using long short-term memory (LSTM), a kind of recurrent neural network (RNN). The proposed method is based on the time series data collected through optical emission spectroscopy (OES) data during the SiO2 etching process. After training the LSTM model, the proposed method demonstrated the ability to detect the etch endpoint more accurately than existing methods by considering the entire time series. The LSTM model achieved an accuracy of 97.1% in a given condition, which shows that considering the flow and context of time series data can significantly reduce the false detection rate. To improve the performance of the proposed LSTM model, we created an attention-based LSTM model and confirmed that the model accuracy is 98.2%, and the performance is improved compared to that of the existing LSTM model.
