Semiconductor manufacturing relies on a long and complex production line for wafer fabrication. In a modern semiconductor fabrication plant (fab), a wafer manufacturing line is composed of more than 1,000 manufacturing tools and an overhead hoist system for delivering wafer lots among the tools. Novel technologies, such as Internet of Things (IoT) and software engineering … [Read more...] about Development of Fault Detection Systems: The Hadoop Ecosystem Implementation

Toward Lifelong Learning for Industrial Defect Classification: A Proposed Framework
Automatic defect inspection is an important application for the development of smart factories in the era of Industry 4.0. It gathers data from production lines to train a model to automatically recognize certain types of defects. However, the defect types may vary in the production process, and it is difficult for the old model to adapt to new types of defects directly. … [Read more...] about Toward Lifelong Learning for Industrial Defect Classification: A Proposed Framework
