Abstract

The double EWMA (exponentially weighted moving average) control method is a popular algorithm for adjusting a process from run to run in semiconductor manufacturing. Until recently, the dEWMA controller had been applied only for the single controllable factor (or input), single quality charcteristic (or output) case. Recently, Del Castillo and Rajagopal4 propose a multivariate double EWMA controller for squared multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) processes, where there is an equal number of inputs and outputs. This paper extends the MIMO dEWMA controller for non-squared systems. Two different MIMO dEWMA controllers are presented and their performance studied with application to a Chemical-Mechanical Polishing (CMP) process, a critical semiconductor manufacture processing step that exhibits non-linear dynamics.
