Abstract

A semiconductor image classifier. Convolution functions are applied to modify the wafer images in order to extract key information about the image. The modified images are condensed then processed through a series of pairwise classifiers, each classifier configured to determine that the image is more like one of the pair than the other. Probabilities from each classifier are collected to form a prediction for each image.
