Deep learning (DL) methods are widely employed in the semiconductor manufacturing process to enhance pattern recognition and classification accuracy, specifically for addressing defect patterns. However, the classification performance of the current models is hindered by the imbalanced distribution of defect data within the test dataset. To tackle this issue, this study presents a feature extraction approach utilizing data transformation, and ensemble learning techniques aiming to enhance the model's classification performance. The primary objective of this study is to mitigate selection and imbalance problems in the dataset through random sampling and assigning distinct weights to individual classifiers. The results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves an impressive accuracy rate of 95.09%, thus substantiating its efficacy in improving the robustness of both the classification model and wafer classification.

Abstract
Deep learning (DL) methods are widely employed in the semiconductor manufacturing process to enhance pattern recognition and classification accuracy, specifically for addressing defect patterns. However, the classification performance of the current models is hindered by the imbalanced distribution of defect data within the test dataset. To tackle this issue, this study presents a feature extraction approach utilizing data transformation, and ensemble learning techniques aiming to enhance the model's classification performance. The primary objective of this study is to mitigate selection and imbalance problems in the dataset through random sampling and assigning distinct weights to individual classifiers. The results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves an impressive accuracy rate of 95.09%, thus substantiating its efficacy in improving the robustness of both the classification model and wafer classification.
