MAB phases (MABs)—alternating atomically-thin ceramic and metallic-like layers—offer an interesting combination of mechanical, magnetocaloric, and catalytic properties, high-temperature oxidation resistance as well as damage tolerance, and have conquered a prominent role in the development of 2D materials. Despite their vast chemical and phase space, relatively few MABs have been achieved experimentally. In this poster I will present high-throughput ab initio screening of MABs that combine group 4–7 transition metals (M); Al, Si, Ga, Ge, or In (A); and boron (B). I will aim on revealing and understanding their phase stability trends and mechanical properties derived from elastic-constants-based descriptors. Considering the 1:1:1, 2:1:1, 2:1:2, 3:1:2, 3:1:3, and 3:1:4 M:A:B ratios and 10 competing phase prototypes for each elemental combination, the corresponding formation energy spectra of dynamically stable phases will be used to estimate the synthesisability of a single-phase MAB. Furthermore, the volumetric proximity of energetically-close MABs will allow identifying systems with possible transformation toughening abilities. The analysis of directional Cauchy pressures and Young’s moduli will allow to analyze mechanical response parallel and normal to M–B/A layers. The poster will also suggest the most promising MAB candidates, including Nb3AlB4, Cr2SiB2, Mn2SiB2 or the already synthesised MoAlB.
AIML-ThP-2 Leak Detection Algorithm Through 2D Image Transformation of Multi-Wavelength Data from SPOES and Application of CNN
Youngjun Yuk, kihyun Kim, HyoYoung Kim (Tech University of Korea)

In semiconductor processing, vacuum chambers are utilized for contamination prevention, plasma generation and so on. External air can enter through cracks in the chamber, which is referred to as a "leak." Leak can lead to a reduction in semiconductor yield. Therefore, it is essential to detect leaks in real-time. SPOES(Self-Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy) can analyze the gas composition inside the chamber in real-time through spectroscopic analysis and detect changes in gas composition instantaneously.

During the process of detecting leaks using SPOES, the DC offset can change due to various chamber conditions or noises such as thermal noise. If the offset changes, it becomes difficult to determine whether the increase in signal is due to a leak or a change in offset when only a single peak is used for leak detection. As a result, this can lead to the misclassification of leaks, thereby reducing the reliability of the system.

In this paper, to improve the misclassification problem, we propose a leak detection system with high reliability by using CNN classification algorithm with using 2D image transformation to monitor multi-wavelengths.

The most significant characteristics of the leak and offset change appear in the wavelengths where the signal changes. A leak signal affects only within specific wavelengths, whereas an offset change affects all wavelengths. A 2D image transform was applied to emphasize these characteristics, and by adding color changes, it became possible to simultaneously represent three dimensions of data: time, intensity, and wavelength. By utilizing this characteristic and monitoring both the wavelengths where leaks are detected and where leaks are not detected, we were able to collect SPOES data corresponding to leak, offset, and normal conditions, and clearly to identify the distinguishing features of each.

When CNN was applied to multi-wavelength data, higher accurate leak detect was achieved compared to applying machine learning to single-wavelength data. In an environment with 2.5 Torr N2 gas flow and no offset variation, a leak of approximately 0.4 ppm was detected with a maximum validation accuracy of 97.46% when three types of filters and machine learning algorithms were applied to the single-wavelength data. In contrast, when CNN was applied for classification, the leak was detected with a validation accuracy of 99.5%.
