Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 控制工程系 === 85 === A vertical chemical vapor deposition process (CVD) optimization method using modified geneticalgorithms (MGA) has been proposed. Genetic algorithms (GA) are a computational optimization paradigm modeled after biological evolution concept. Strategies such as: elitist with ranking selection reproduction scheme and multiple points crossover are used to raise the search efficiency of the traditional GA. Self-adjusted operator probability not only helps to avoid premature but also define parameters automatically. Moreover, we integrate hybrid genetic operator, immigration operator, and heuristic fitness function to enhance its local fine tuning ability. In order to prove the improvement results, we initially optimize several highly nonlinear functions with MGA, then, with a well-defined fitness function, the optimization procedure has been successfully applied to the CVD process with various noise level. Through the optimal solution, we obtained the thickness in deposition layers which is more uniformly distributed over the wafers. These results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed optimization solution in comparison with other existing optimization algorithms.
