Conventional semiconductor drying process development has evaluated the quality of the process by measuring the collapse rate using scanning electron microscope (SEM) images. However, collapse evaluation using SEM images is time-consuming and costly. Therefore, we developed an AI that estimates the collapse rate from moiré patterns in optical microscope images, which can be acquired in a short time. process optimization using the collapse rate estimated by the AI has succeeded in optimizing the drying process conditions in about 68% less time than before.
