The present invention provides an information processing apparatus for determining, for a substrate having undergone an imprint process that forms a pattern of an imprint material, presence/absence of a formation defect of the pattern, including a generating unit configured to generate learning models in one-to-one correspondence with a plurality of different illumination conditions by using images obtained by capturing images of a plurality of substrates on which the pattern is formed under the plurality of illumination conditions, and an obtaining unit configured to input the images obtained by capturing images of the substrates having undergone the imprint process and containing the pattern, to a plurality of learning models generated by the generating unit, and obtain a temporary determination result temporarily indicating the presence/absence of a formation defect of the pattern from each of the plurality of learning models.

Information processing apparatus, determination method, imprint apparatus, lithography system, article manufacturing method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

An information processing apparatus outputs correction data using a first system that outputs the correction data for correcting a condition defining processing to be performed in a lithography apparatus that forms a pattern onto a substrate. The first system includes a first model that outputs the correction data in case where a processing result indicating a result of the processing is input, and a second model that outputs the processing result in case where the condition is input. The first system corrects the condition using the correction data output from the first model, and outputs the correction data based on the processing result output by inputting the corrected condition to the second model.

Information processing apparatus, storage medium, lithography apparatus, manufacturing method of product, and manufacturing system of product

A substrate processing system having a plurality of substrate processing apparatuses, a host control apparatus, and a management apparatus is provided. The management apparatus determines a substrate processing apparatus that needs maintenance processing, based on operation information collected from each of the substrate processing apparatuses, and notifies a determination result to the substrate processing apparatus determined to need the maintenance processing. Each of the substrate processing apparatuses transmits information for executing the maintenance processing to the host control apparatuses upon receiving the determination result. The host control apparatus monitors an operation state of each of the substrate processing apparatuses, and, based on the operation state of the substrate processing apparatus that transmitted the information for executing the maintenance processing, controls a timing of performance of the maintenance processing with respect to the substrate processing apparatus.

Substrate processing system, method of controlling substrate processing system, computer-readable storage medium, and method of manufacturing article

A data transmission method of transmitting data of log information recorded in log data of a manufacturing apparatus to an external device includes: storing correspondence information between information of a first identifier and information of a second identifier, the first identifier being an identifier used to identify a thing about a process performed by the manufacturing apparatus and being shared by the manufacturing apparatus and the external device, the second identifier being an identifier used to identify a thing about a process performed by the manufacturing apparatus and being used by the manufacturing apparatus; and obtaining, based on the correspondence information, information of the first identifier corresponding to information of the second identifier recorded in log information, and transmitting data of the log information to which the obtained information of the first identifier has been added. The storing and the obtaining are executed by an information processing device.

Data transmission method, non-transitory storage medium, data transmission device, lithography apparatus, and method of manufacturing product

The present invention provides an information processing method of processing history information of a manufacturing apparatus with an information processing apparatus including a storage, the method comprising a first transferring step of transferring, based on a request from a first information processing apparatus, history information stored in the storage to the first information processing apparatus, an updating step of updating the history information stored in the storage, and a second transferring step of transferring, based on a request from a second information processing apparatus, history information stored in the storage to the second information processing apparatus, wherein the second transferring step transfers, in a case where history information requested by the second information processing apparatus has not been obtained from the manufacturing apparatus, the history information to the second information processing apparatus after the history information is obtained.

Information processing method, storage medium, and information processing apparatus

An apparatus which transmits data generated by a device manufacturing apparatus to at least one terminal, comprises a communication unit, a transmission request processor configured to accept or reject a transmission request which the communication unit has received from the terminal, and a transmission controller configured to control the communication unit to transmit, in response to a transmission request accepted by the transmission request processor, data corresponding to the transmission request to a terminal, of the at least one terminal, which has transmitted the transmission request, wherein the transmission request processor accepts a new transmission request if a sum of transmission rates of the respective data concurrently transmitted from the communication unit in response to transmission requests which the transmission request processor has already accepted and a transmission rate at which data is transmitted in response to the new transmission request does not exceed a preset allowable transmission rate.
