Panoptes VM is the industry’s first virtual metrology solution deployed in high-volume manufacturing fabs for real-time run-to-run control. Panoptes VM achieves the holy grail of machine learning algorithms — reliability, robustness, and scalability based on deep domain knowledge — while oblivious to the underlying customer data. It is highly accurate and reliable even under low sampling rates of very high-dimensional sensor data. It is robust against data drifts and shifts via time-aware normalization and adaptive online learning. It is scalable for many process and equipment types with an easy-to-use interface for process engineers.

Panoptes IM is an integrated image metrology solution that overcomes the physical and software limits of conventional measurement tools through state-of-the-art computer vision technology. To overcome the limit on metrology resources, Panoptes IM enhances higher-throughput, lower-quality images by advanced denoising techniques. This enables faster acquisition without any loss in the image quality. In addition to automatically measuring all conventional measurands in a given image, Panoptes IM also detects anomalies within the image and identifies their causes, which serves as another indicator for yield changes. In order to handle diverse metrology recipes, Panoptes IM provides a unified set of recipes, or methods and procedures for measuring features in images. These recipes are created, tested, deployed, and managed in an engineering platform, which is integrated seamlessly with existing manufacturing systems.
