Abstract
The current disclosure describes techniques for managing vertical alignment or overlay in semiconductor manufacturing using machine learning. Alignments of interconnection features in a fan-out WLP process are evaluated and managed through the disclosed techniques. Big data and machine learning are used to train a classification that correlates the overlay error source factors with overlay metrology categories. The overlay error source factors include tool signals. The trained classification includes a base classification and a Meta classification.
