The development of a dynamic analytics software platform, which explains the key core dependencies of the vast multifaceted metrology problems within volume manufacturing through a highly visual interactive interface

“该项目旨在开发一个动态分析软件平台，该平台通过高度可视化的交互界面解释了批量生产中大量多方面计量问题的关键核心依赖关系，其中最终产品性能取决于与‘相同’指标的一致性程度。这种创新方法由总部位于贝尔法斯特的SME，数据分析实验室（DAL）首创，最初将部署在希捷科技位于北爱尔兰斯普林顿的晶圆制造基地的一个关键工艺模块中。这种能力将通过更快的新产品引进学习周期、减少废料和更快的量产速度来提高生产率。该项目汇集了世界一流的跨学科英国团队。数据分析实验室是一家雄心勃勃的中小企业，通过合作产业研究和自主研发实现强劲增长。DAL在高级建模、机器学习、大数据分析和数据工程方面拥有专业知识。DAL将能够利用一种新的诊断和可视化算法在其他技术领域的应用的商业利益，例如半导体，商业开发是一个可行的短期或中期目标。希捷科技是数据存储技术的全球领导者，在全球硬盘驱动器（HDD）市场占有约40%的份额。Springtown工厂生产的磁头占全球总需求量的25%左右，磁头是硬盘中的关键传感器。希捷是世界上仅有的五个类似的晶圆制造基地之一，也是欧洲唯一的工厂，希捷是展示分析平台在北爱尔兰商业可行性的理想场所。对DAL来说，赠款资金的好处将是显著的。该项目将使DAL能够证明动态分析软件平台技术在数据存储领域的可行性，在半导体行业中开辟许多商机，这是DAL尚未渗透的行业。”

"This project seeks to develop a dynamic analytics software platform, which explains the key core dependencies of the vast multifaceted metrology problems within volume manufacturing through a highly visual interactive interface where final product performance is determined by the degree of conformance to a 'sameness' metric. This innovative approach pioneered by Belfast-based SME, Data Analytics Labs (DAL) will initially be deployed in one of the critical process blocks at the Seagate Technology wafer fabrication site in Springtown, Northern Ireland. This capability will enable improved productivity through faster cycles of learning for new product introductions, reduced scrap and faster time-to-volume ramps.The project brings together a world-class interdisciplinary UK team. Data Analytics Labs is an ambitious SME with strong growth projection through both collaborative industrial research and independent R&D. DAL has expertise in advanced modelling, machine learning, big data analytics and data engineering.DAL will be able to exploit commercial benefits of a new novel diagnostic and visualisation algorithm application in other technological areas, such as semiconductors, for which commercial exploitation is a viable short or medium term goal.Seagate Technology is a world leader in data storage technology, with approximately 40% share of the global hard disc drive (HDD) market. The Springtown facility produces around 25% of the total global demand for recording heads, the critical sensor in a HDD. As one of only five comparable wafer fabrication sites in the world and the only site in Europe, Seagate is ideally placed to demonstrate commercial viability of the analytics platform in Northern Ireland.For DAL the benefits of grant funding will be significant. This project will enable DAL to prove the viability of a dynamic analytics software platform technology in the data storage field, opening up many business opportunities within the semiconductor industry, an industry which DAL has yet to penetrate."
