Abstract
With increasing wafer sizes and diversifying die patterns, automated optical inspection (AOI) is progressively replacing traditional visual inspection (VI) for wafer defect detection. Yet, the defect classification efficacy of current AOI systems in our case company is not optimal. This limitation is due to the algorithms’ reliance on expertly designed features, reducing adaptability across various product models. Additionally, the limited time available for operators to annotate defect samples restricts learning potential. Our study introduces a novel hybrid self-training algorithm, leveraging semi-supervised learning that integrates pseudo-labeling, noisy student, curriculum labeling, and the Taguchi method. This approach enables classifiers to autonomously integrate information from unlabeled data, bypassing the need for feature extraction, even with scarcely labeled data. Our experiments on a small-scale set show that with 25% and 50% labeled data, the method achieves over 92% accuracy. Remarkably, with only 10% labeled data, our hybrid method surpasses the supervised DenseNet classifier by over 20%, achieving more than 82% accuracy. On a large-scale set, the hybrid method consistently outperforms other approaches, achieving up to 88.75%, 86.31%, and 83.61% accuracy with 50%, 25%, and 10% labeled data. Further experiments confirm our method’s consistent superiority, highlighting its potential for high classification accuracy in limited-data scenarios.
