Deep learning defect inspection
Accurately decide the presence and type of defects based on inspection images.
- Toshiba achieved highly accurate defect detection by combining a deep learning model that distinguishes complex shapes with weakly supervised learning that is resistant to label noise.
- Used in the Toshiba Group’s semiconductor manufacturing facilities.
Applications
- Image inspection at manufacturing sites
Benchmarks, strengths, and track record
- International Symposium on Semiconductor Manufacturing (ISSM) 2018 Best Paper Award
- Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence (JSAI) 2016 Field Innovation Award; Gold Prize
- Used at Toshiba Group manufacturing bases.
