SIMULATION / SA-VMET-SMALLDATA-001

Small-data virtual metrology replay
VM trust gate

A browser CSV lab for sparse semiconductor metrology: compare module context, sample plan, data age, sensor health, physical metrology fraction, and model family before trusting a prediction.

EXPLORE

Start with the observable.

Use this page when the simulation is the primary artifact. The linked lesson explains the concept; the linked lab keeps the visual replay surface available.

guided exploration
  • Filter module context, sample plan, physical metrology fraction, and model family to see when uncertainty replaces confidence.
  • Compare prediction error, guardband, Cpk proxy, escape risk, false-hold risk, and sampling cost instead of optimizing only model error.
  • Use decision gate and next safe check to decide whether the row supports monitoring, sample-more, hold-for-review, or bounded release language.
  • Open the model card before reusing the table in a lecture, reading-room note, or process-control backlog.

BROWSER INTERACTIVE LAB

Filter the saved CSV. Inspect matching replay rows.

No server solver is running here. The browser filters a precomputed table and redraws the plot locally.

Each metric is normalized independently for shape inspection. Vertical positions do not compare magnitude across metrics.

RUN CARD

Conditions before conclusions.

The browser filters saved CSV rows and redraws local plots. It does not train a model, run a live solver, connect to equipment, ingest uploaded wafer data, or execute APC/dispatch logic.

METHODS

How the number was made.

Methods are written for citation discipline: the extraction rule matters as much as the plotted value.

method

Generate a 2880-row factorial teaching table over module context, sample plan, data age, sensor health, physical metrology fraction, and model family.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

Compute measured sample count, training rows, drift score, uncertainty proxy, prediction error proxy, guardband proxy, Cpk proxy, escape-risk proxy, false-hold-risk proxy, sampling-cost index, decision gate, evidence state, and next safe check.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

Use official public source anchors for vocabulary and problem framing only; all visible rows, formulas, labels, and limitations are original SemiAgora teaching content.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

LIMITS

What this page does not claim.

The MVP is useful because the limits are visible. These statements prevent a teaching simulation from being cited as silicon evidence.

non-claim

The virtual-metrology values are not calibrated to CMP, lithography, etch, implant, ALD, or any other real process module.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

Model-family labels are educational proxies; no machine-learning library, Gaussian-process fit, conformal-prediction package, APC system, or commercial VM tool is run on the public page.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

A real VM program needs owned sensor streams, matched physical metrology, drift monitoring, data lineage, uncertainty validation, process-owner review, and quality governance.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

No live server model training, uploaded wafer data, equipment-control action, or APC execution is enabled.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

This lab teaches evidence discipline; it cannot approve sample reduction, release a lot, replace metrology, qualify a recipe, or set a manufacturing control policy.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

EVIDENCE

Trace the claim back to artifacts.

The evidence route remains the catalog-level browser; this page is the simulation-level reading card.

evidence note

The CSV preserves every module context, sample plan, data-age state, sensor-health state, metrology fraction, model-family label, and decision metric used by the browser lab.

SA-VMET-SMALLDATA-001

evidence note

The JSON stores row counts, role views, public boundaries, source anchors, methods, limitations, and high-risk examples.

SA-VMET-SMALLDATA-001

evidence note

The Metrology/Yield lane now has a virtual-metrology surface beside SPC, DOE, CD/overlay, ellipsometry, TLM, and feedforward-control evidence.

SA-VMET-SMALLDATA-001

evidence note

The public page teaches measurement judgment only: no wafer-data upload, no model training service, no process-control action, and no release decision.

SA-VMET-SMALLDATA-001

Public execution boundary

No server-side live ngspice execution, uploads, accounts, payments, comments, newsletter signup, or job/event submissions are active on this page.
