Sampling and Prediction of Photolithography Process and Applications of Incremental Learning Model
Summary | Through the technique, Sampling and Prediction of Lithography Overlay Errors, the cost and time of overlay error measurement can be reduced to improve the process efficiency. We identify key sampling through clustering and machine learning models, and design a new sampling algorithm in photolithography process. Due to the complexity of wafer and many training factors of wafer data, we combine the clustering algorithm with incremental learning to meet customers' unique needs and achieve the goal of optimally sampling and reducing the costs. Due to the lack of a large amount of wafer measurement data in practice, we combine the clustering with incremental learning to meet customers' unique needs. Moreover, we develop a dynamic clustering algorithm to automatically identify the correct number of clusters for different types of attributes, and gradually build learning models with a few training data to predict wafer exposure and compensation. While repeatedly learning new data, it also retains the knowledge of previous models. In addition, we show the new sampling algorithm outperforms the commercial tool by 10% under key measures. We develop a new sampling algorithm with our partner companies to analyze the common features of overlay by dynamic clustering. We select testkeys through the incremental learning model, and predict the actual exposure of entire wafers. We also extend the sampling technique to the testing process of Wafer Probe to reduce the cost of the testing process. In addition to developing relevant forward-looking technologies, it is expected to enhance Taiwan’s cutting-edge technology and raise the world competitiveness in the semiconductor manufacturing industry. |

A movement assistive system using EEG-controlled functional electric stimulation
We have developed a movement assistive system using EEG-controlled functional electric stimulation system. Users’ movement intentions are recognized by brain computer interface, implemented by deep learning network, and the detected users’ intentions are then translated into commands to trigger a functional electric stimulation (FES) device to activate users’ particular movements, such as grasping, hand raising, holding a cup, etc. In our study, we have designed our own wireless dry-electrode EEG system and our own FES system.

New insight into the brain: Optical imaging/stimulationspiking neural circuit models
div style="text-align: justify"Constructing a functional connectomeits computational model is a crucial step toward understanding the mechanisms of brain functions. To achieve this goal, we developed two correlated technologies: (1) An all- optical physiology (AOP) that is capable of millisecond volumetric imagingaccurate stimulation in living animal brains. This system allows us to establish functional connectomeneural coding with a single-cell resolution. (2) A cellular-level spiking neural circuit simulation system that is capable of tuning itself based on the input data from the AOP system. We have demonstrated our technologies in the Drosophila late visual systemwill apply them in the brains of larger species such as mice. We expect that our technologies will be able to greatly enhance our knowledge of the brain operation principles. Our 3D all-optical physiology (AOP) platform incorporates single-photon point stimulationtwo-photon high-speed volumetric recordings (Optics Letters 2019, "Editors pick"). We have demonstrated its effectiveness in studying the anterior visual pathway of fruit flies (iScience2019). In comparison, contemporary high-speed AOP platforms are limited to single-depthdiscrete multi-plane recordings that are not suitable for studying functional connections. Our high-resolution computational model is constructed based on the combination of static connectomeAOP data,is much more realistic than the existing models. Our work aids establishing in-vivo 3D functional connectomescomputational models of the brains, thus provides insight into the mechanisms of brain functions./div

div style="text-align: justify"Quantum key distribution exploits the transmissiondetection of single photons’ quantum states to generatedistribute secure keys, allowing absolutely secure communication. We use a self-developed miniature single-photon source, together with the single-photon wavepacket engineering, to implement a highly efficient protocol of differential-phase-shift quantum key distribution. Using the Campus Fiber Network between National Tsing Hua UniversityNational Chiao Tung University, we demonstrate Taiwan’s first outdoor quantum key distribution.

Advanced Technologies for Designing Trustable AI Services
This integrated research project follows the Taiwan's 2030 Science & Technology Vision and takes LOHAS community and inclusive technology as the major research direction. We aim to develop trustable AI technologies, and introduce them to future smart services. That will realize the development of human-centric smart technology, and strengthen the governance and application of emerging technologies. The integrated project consists of 7 sub-projects led by PIs from National Taiwan University, National Tsing-Hua Universiy and Academia Sinica and composed of top AI technological teams. These sub-projects are divided into 3 clusters, including machine learning (sub-projects 1 and 2), computer vision (sub-projects 3 and 4), and human-centric computing (sub-projects 5, 6 and 7). We will deal with the issues of bias, fairness, transparency, explainability, traceability, and so on, from the aspects of data collection, technology, and application landing. Each sub-project will implement specific smart services to reflect the benefits and practical applications of the developed technologies. The NTU Joint Research Center for AI Technology and All Vista Healthcare, an AI Innovation Research Center supported by MOST, is responsible for management, planning, and execution of the integrated research project. We will propose a plan that can be generalized and applied to the intelligent service industry.

DeepFIND
Artificial Intelligence Automatic Sputum Microscopy System AIASMS: AIASMS can automatically shoot images from sputum smear samples and identify Mycobacterium tuberculosis(MTB). AIASMS can find the most suitable depth for shooting images and then automatically shoot images under the microscope through auto-focusing. These images will be stored in the cloud database. Meanwhile, AIASMS detect whether the sputum smear contains MTB. AIASMS can accurately label the location of the TB. The sensitivity and specificity can reach 90% and 99% respectively. We also cooperate with three hospitals in the northern, central, and southern regions of Taiwan to conduct blind testing, and the sensitivity can be more than 90%. AIASMS can also distinguish between MTB and Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). Finally, n the expansion of technology, we have extended the identification of the acid-resistant staining to the identification of gram staining, so that our system can widely identify a variety of bacteria.

ALOVAS
ALOVAS Platform: ALOVAS acts as an A.I. Pathology Platform which provides high resolution pathology image viewer. Even Giga-pixel-level original images can be viewed online in real time. ALOVAS platform can be used not only on computer, but also on iPad.

ALOVAS also provides commonly used annotation tools, including hand-drawing, dots, rectangles, etc., which can be used to mark areas of interest. Embedded with the ALOVAS platform also provided several detection algorithms. We hope ALOVAS can assist physicians in rapid diagnosis, in related pathological research, and reduce the workload of pathologists in the future.
