Santa Clara, Ca

-Led from concept to live implementation of a data pipeline which enables new capabilities in advanced computational and machine learning for factory insights. The system is capable of wrangling big, disparate data types into a cohesive framework suitable for predictive modeling, classification, and visualization. Pipeline use case was process characterization, control, and outlier detection of etch semiconductor process equipment. -Analyzed spatial product contour data to develop… Show more -Led from concept to live implementation of a data pipeline which enables new capabilities in advanced computational and machine learning for factory insights. The system is capable of wrangling big, disparate data types into a cohesive framework suitable for predictive modeling, classification, and visualization. Pipeline use case was process characterization, control, and outlier detection of etch semiconductor process equipment. -Analyzed spatial product contour data to develop outlier detection capability beyond simple factory standard uniformity metrics. New system confirmed hypothesis that maintenance of detailed spatial map signatures improve factory decision making and KPI performance. Show less
