Abstract:
A method includes, for a first tool-log variable of a set of tool-log variables, comparing a first tool-log variable result from a first integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing recipe to a first tool-log variable result from a second IC manufacturing recipe. The set of tool-log variables corresponds to one or more tool-logs generated from execution of the first IC manufacturing recipe and the second IC manufacturing recipe on an IC manufacturing tool. Based on the comparison, a first tool-log variable similarity value for the first tool-log variable is assigned, and, based on the first tool-log variable similarity value, a recipe similarity value for the first IC manufacturing recipe and the second IC manufacturing recipe is calculated. At least one of comparing the first tool-log variable results, assigning the first tool-log variable similarity value, or calculating the recipe similarity value is performed by a processing device.

Claim (Index 17):
An integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing recipe similarity evaluation system comprising:\n a processor; and a non-transitory, computer readable storage medium including computer program code for one or more programs, the non-transitory, computer readable storage medium and the computer program code being configured to, with the processor, cause the system to:\n retrieve a first set of tool-log entries and a second set of tool-log entries from a tool-log storage device, the first set of tool-log entries corresponding to executing a first IC manufacturing recipe on an IC manufacturing tool, the second set of tool-log entries corresponding to executing a second IC manufacturing recipe on the IC manufacturing tool; \n receive a tool-log variable identifying a first entry of the first set of tool-log entries and a first entry of the second set of tool-log entries; \n assign a tool-log variable similarity value for the first tool-log entry of the first set of tool-log entries and the first tool-log entry of the second set of tool-log entries; and \n based on the tool-log variable similarity value, calculate a recipe similarity value for the first IC manufacturing recipe and the second IC manufacturing recipe.
