Application: Machine and deep learning techniques for predicting ecological efficiency in substrate processing (Patent ID: US20240210916A1)

The patent filed by Applied Materials Inc. describes a method and system for optimizing environmental resource consumption during substrate processing in a process chamber. The method involves inputting process recipes into machine learning models to predict environmental resource usage data and provide recommendations for modifying the recipes to reduce resource consumption. The system includes process chambers with sensors controlled by a system controller that utilizes trained machine learning models to output recommendations based on predicted environmental resource usage data.

The method and system outlined in the patent aim to improve the efficiency of substrate processing by analyzing environmental resource consumption associated with different process recipes. By utilizing machine learning models to predict resource usage data and provide recommendations for recipe modifications, the system can optimize processing conditions to reduce energy, gas, and water consumption. The system controller receives process recipes, compares predicted resource usage data, and outputs recommendations for modifying recipes to achieve reduced environmental impact. Additionally, the patent describes the training of machine learning models with historical data to further enhance the optimization process and improve overall resource efficiency in substrate processing.
