Process Optimization Through Discovery and Integration of Materials and Processing Properties. Phase 1.
Abstract
The research objective is to examine process discovery methods for increasing the productivity of materials research with use of computational intelligence paradigms Phase 1 work focused on the study of procedures and enabling technologies to achieve the ultimate goal. The overall work consists of four important tasks. Task 1 was related to process modeling and monitoring. Once this task has been achieved, appropriate control actions can be generated based on an estimation of the current state of a process. In task 2, we focused our study on a feedforward/feedback optimal control methodology with use of neural networks and evolutionary programming. Task 3 was an illustration how a pattern of film thickness estimated from task 1could be used to formulate an objective function. With such an objective function, appropriate control actions can be generated via an optimal control software. Task 4 was concerned with development of an intelligent visualization display enabling users to understand and discover the process behavior. (AN)
