RTCVD Model Reduction: A Collocation on Empirical Eigenfunctions Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
A model of a three-zone Rapid Thermal Chemical Vapor Deposition (RTCVD) system is developed to study the e ects of spatial wafer temperature patterns and gas-phase reactant depletion on polysilicon deposition uniformity. A sequence of simulated runs is performed, varying the lamp power pro les so that di erent temperature modes are excited. The dominant spatial wafer thermal modes are extracted via proper orthogonal decomposition. A collocation formulation of Galerkin's method is used to discretize the original modeling equations giving a low-order model which looses little of the original's delity. We make use of the excellent predictive capabilities of the reduced model in a real-time RTP system simulator.

Optimal control of diffusion-convection-reaction processes using reduced-order models
Two approaches for optimal control of diffusion-convection-reaction processes based on reduced-order models are presented. The approaches differ in the way spatial discretization is carried out to compute a reduced-order model suitable for controller design. In the first approach, the partial differential equation (PDE) that describes the process is first discretized in space and time using the...
متن کاملNonlinear Model Reduction for RTCVD
In this paper, we examine alternative methods for reducing the dimensionality of nonlinear dynamical system models arising in control of rapid thermal chemical vapor deposition (RTCVD) for semiconductor manufacturing. We focus on model reduction for the ordinary differential equation model describing heat transfer to, from, and within a semiconductor wafer in the RTCVD chamber. Two model reduct...
متن کاملA collocation/quadrature-based Sturm-Liouville problem solver
We present a computational method for solving a class of boundary-value problems in Sturm-Liouville form. The algorithms are based on global polynomial collocation methods and produce discrete representations of the eigenfunctions. Error control is performed by evaluating the eigenvalue problem residuals generated when the eigenfunctions are interpolated to a finer discretization grid; eigenfun...
متن کاملAn approach based on statistical spline model for Volterra-Fredholm integral equations
In this paper, an approach based on statistical spline model (SSM) and collocation method is proposed to solve Volterra-Fredholm integral equations. The set of collocation nodes is chosen so that the points yield minimal error in the nodal polynomials. Under some standard assumptions, we establish the convergence property of this approach. Numerical results on some problems are given...
