Bridging the Gap Between Engineering and the Life Sciences

OVERVIEW

The Symposium brought together experts to share their work and identify gaps to accelerating the development of technologies and optimize health outcomes.  Topics covered included using AI in diagnostics and decision-making using AI; data fusion for real time diagnosis; and the impact of these technologies on rural and decentralized healthcare.

Layered on top was the topic of performance augmentation by reading biochemical markers, digital genomics, using new and proposed bio-sensors and wearables.  We heard about tools and technologies available to assess physiological markers that are correlated to health and wellness such as stress, fatigue, chronic disease and cognition. 

The forum focused on bringing together the players across the growing range of industries that are advancing human monitoring applications to:

  • share pre-competitive ideas that may be applied to product development
  • assess roadblocks in bringing human monitoring products to market
  • form partnerships that have become key in overcoming obstacles to successful manufacturing and product development

OVERVIEW

In the last few years, electronics packaging has rightfully emerged from the shadows of CMOS scaling to make a significant impact in high performance and mobile appliance computing.  

In this course, we reviewed the key developments in this paradigm change and the implications these have on Flexible Hybrid Electronics especially the use of bare dielets, fine pitch interconnects and novel substrate materials.

The area of Flexible Hybrid Electronics (FHE) has also developed and is making a significant impact in the area of medical and wellness electronics.  The first generation of these devices have, for most part, adapted Printed Circuit Board (PCB) technology by using thinner PCBs and assembling either thinned or thin packaged “older” generation of chips on to these platforms, typically with coarse printed wiring to connect a small number of such chips.

This approach, while immensely useful to get  the field going, needs to adapt and borrow from the both silicon and advanced packaging technology trends, so that we can advance this trend to the next level. The key paradigm challenges ahead are: scaling  FHE in general – this includes the adoption of dielet (chiplet) technology in more advanced CMOS nodes including edge-AI, higher performance interconnects, flexible high-density energy storage, wireless communication and advanced ergonomics and all of these at lower cost and higher reliability.

This talk addresses the challenges and outline a possible technology roadmap to achieve these goals in the next few years.

Abstract

Fabrication in the cleanroom, and in the newer printed electronics tools, are often a function of time-varying parameters of the equipment, environment, and materials. The parameters often have co-dependencies across different process steps and tool sets. Physics based models and linear regression have been used traditionally, which are often not sufficient to learn the underlying variabilities.

This course will teach the material needed to connect cleanroom and printed electronics science and technology to that of advanced data processing capabilities enabled by Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Cleanroom tools inherently can have millions of internal variables and can learn from the datasets, providing a powerful and complementary approach to traditional feedback control and process stabilization approaches.

Learning models are developed on images (CD-SEMS, optical images), time history data (Optical Emission Spectroscopy), and textual process information. A subset of the class will include: (1) Approaches to preprocess image data and create learning-based models, (2) model verification, (3) application to nanomechanical switch fabrication, and (4) cloud based implementation, data security, and data standardization.

 Course Outline:

1.      Introduction – The need for AI in microfabrication and printed electronics

a.      Microfabrication: Tool variability, process variations

b.      Printed Electronics: Inkjet variations, spatial variations

During the workshop recording, you will hear perspectives from the key stakeholder segments and develop a greater understanding of the overall efforts and progress of the task force.

The workshop is focused on diagnosing and improving SEMI F47, Specification for Semiconductor Processing Equipment Voltage Sag Immunity, widely adopted across the industry, the governing standard that defines voltage sag test levels and requirements for semiconductor tools.

Since the implementation of SEMI F47, the vulnerability of semiconductor manufacturing to single-phase and two-phase voltage sags has improved greatly. However, semiconductor manufacturers continue to experience significant product loss and downtime due to voltage sag events.

Given the ongoing issues with semiconductor plant downtime, a new SEMI Voltage Sag Immunity Task Force was formed to take a fresh look at the issue. The workshop and the task force:

  • Reviews the characteristics of the power quality events that cause downtime.
  • Takes a new look at the sensitivities in the process equipment.
  • Determines any potential adjustments to equipment design, facility design, utility systems, or SEMI Standards to further reduce voltage sag induced losses by the semiconductor industry.

Introduction to the SEMI Voltage Sag Immunity Task Force Effort

A review of the key objectives of the voltage sag task force will be discussed along with the characteristics of the power quality events that are still causing semiconductor plant process downtime. A new look at the sensitivities in the tooling and process equipment is required to determine any potential adjustments to equipment design, facility design, utility systems or standards to further reduce voltage sag induced losses by the semiconductor industry. This important work will help utilities, semiconductor manufacturers, and tool equipment providers to better understand the tolerance and susceptibility of today’s generation of semiconductor processing tools and then to develop effective strategies to improve uptime and lower product losses due not only to single-phase (Type I) and two-phase (Type II) voltage sag events but for three-phase (Type III) events as well.

A review of voltage sags at a National Grid substation which were produced by two lightning-caused three-phase transmission faults at locations fairly remote to the substation.  This will show the regional effect of transmission level faults on voltage.  The voltage sags will be compared to the existing SEMI-F47 standard and the accepted sag definition.  Additionally, a proposed regional voltage sag study will be considered in light of the changing make-up of the future electric system and the influx of large inverter-based resources.

Utility Dynamic VAR device fault response, fault mitigation techniques, and power quality measures addressed with protection design

Co- presenters:
Greg Rieder, GlobalFoundries
Josh Burroughs, VELCO
John Fiske, VELCO

VELCO recently conducted a refurbishment of its STATCOM facility as part of a planned controls system upgrade. The system planning need for this facility is to provide area voltage support during transmission system contingencies. The refurbishment project team recognized the benefits of the STATCOM’s ability to provide voltage support during system faults and specified fault performance requirements in the vendor specifications. This presentation will discuss those performance requirements, review pre and post project upgrade system fault record’s and review project lessons learned. The second half of the presentation will cover utility fault mitigation design strategies for substation and transmission line assets as well as protective relaying techniques to improve power quality

Waveform captures of voltage sag events can be automatically analyzed by software to determine their source and impact

This presentation will summarize efforts to categorize events automatically that exceed SEMI F47 limits, and to determine the source of those disturbances. It will also present recent efforts to analyze the impact of voltage sags automatically on electrical loads. This research has resulted in automatic algorithms to determine which voltage sags caused downtime and which ones did not. Combining all of this information together provides a means to more precisely and effectively diagnose, manage, and mitigate voltage sag disturbances.

Power Quality and Monitoring, What Does the Data Tell Us?

Power Quality (PQ) has a long and diverse history dating back to the first power grids in the United States. Impacts and concerns about PQ events have evolved and will continue to evolve as our usage of electricity changes. Recent natural disasters have highlighted the importance of a robust power grid and the changing landscape of power generation presents new PQ challenges. As power consumers, a key element in any PQ strategy is adequate power monitoring. This provides the data that can drive conversation with the utility, discover opportunities in our infrastructure and deliver to our facilities the power quality necessary to sustain our businesses.

Power Supply Considerations and Standards for Voltage Sag Ride Through

Disturbances in utility power during semiconductor manufacturing can result in loss of revenue, productivity, production yields, and product quality. Focus on power quality continues to grow as new fabs are built in developing regions, which historically suffer from poor infrastructure. Highly automated fabs have driven a demand for systems that can ride through power glitches without shutting down tools and production lines. This presentation examines how power quality, most typically resulting in voltage sag events, affects semiconductor manufacturing and how industry standards and guidelines for tool immunity to those events affect the design of power supplies.

Next Steps for SEMI Voltage Sag Immunity Task Force

Based on the initial findings from utility and fab power quality data, the task force is poised to move forward to re-evaluate semiconductor tools against voltage sag additional characteristics that are indicative of measured events still causing downtime. Utilities, semiconductor fabs and equipment OEMs will be invited to actively participate in this effort to obtain the required test data.
