The Adventa APC framework provides run-to-run process control for semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Adventa software uses control strategies containing process models to relate wafer characteristics to machine conditions and settings. This run-to-run process control approach uses information about the current state of the material (feedforward data), machine, and the desired results (targets) to select the appropriate control strategy and process model. Then, it determines the values for manipulated variables (typically, machine settings) and executes the next lot based on those new settings.

Leading semiconductor equipment manufacturers worldwide choose Adventa to address and exceed the complex requirements of fabwide APC deployments. We have helped customers implement complete fabwide deployment of APC on virtually all types of semiconductor process equipment including etch, deposition, cleaning, lithography systems (track and steppers), CMP, RTP, and multi-chambered cluster tools.

Our resources are used by fabs worldwide to:

  • perform requirements analyses and deployment plans for APC applications

  • train and mentor equipment engineering staffs on the use of APC

  • assist with deployment of APC software

  • create APC models for specific tool types
