INFICON Introduces FabGuard FDC for Fabwide Fault Detection and Classification

Combines real-time fault detection and classification with powerful tools for fab productivity at cutting-edge levels

Syracuse, NY — July 9, 2007: INFICON FabGuard® FDC combines on-line fault detection and classification (FDC) with powerful tools that allow fab engineers to readily analyze virtually any aspect of process and equipment behavior. FabGuard FDC combines fabwide FDC functionality with tool-specific data analysis to improve process engineering and equipment troubleshooting, reducing unscheduled tool downtime and improving yield.

The FabGuard FDC Expert System Builder enhances traditional SPC-based tool interdiction by giving process and equipment engineers the flexibility to train FabGuard FDC to recognize new problems as they appear and automatically detect them when they appear again. This proactive approach to fault detection provides wafer protection and fault identification not previously available.

FabGuard FDC can be easily scaled from one tool to several hundred for real-time SPC on all wafer process equipment. A single user interface allows engineers to display, sort and analyze tool and process data from every tool with extreme flexibility and ease. FabGuard FDC is the only system designed to integrate multiple types of process sensors in a single platform, automatically controlling all sensors and analyzing complex data.
