Automatic Control Loop Grading and Data Labeling
Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to automated control loop grading and data labeling (“ACLGDL”). According to one aspect disclosed herein, an ACLGDL system analyzes results of an execution, by a control loop system, of a control loop. The ACLGDL system can grade the results. The ACLGDL system also can instruct, based at least in part upon the grade of the results of the execution, the control loop system to collect additional data. The ACLGDL system can label the additional data for use by an output system. The ACLGDL system can establish plurality of policies including a grading-analysis policy, a grading-results policy, a labeling-collection policy, a labeling policy, a publishing policy, and a notification policy. The ACLGDL system can publish the data labeled in accordance with the labeling policy based, at least in part, upon the publishing policy. The ACLGDL system can notify the output system based, at least in part, upon the notification policy.

Common Terminal Heater for Ceramic Pedestals Used in Semiconductor for Fabrication
System and methods for processing a substrate using a reactor with multiple heating zones and control of said heating zones using a common terminal shared between two power supplies are provided. The reactor includes a heater assembly for supporting the substrate and a showerhead for supplying process gases into the reactor. An inner heater and an outer heater are integrated in the heater assembly. An inner power supply has a positive terminal connected to a first end of the inner heater and a negative terminal is connected to a second end of the inner heater that is coupled to a common terminal. An outer power supply has a positive terminal connected to a first end of the outer heater and a negative terminal connected to a second end of the outer heater that is coupled to the common terminal. A common-terminal heater module is configured to receive a measured temperature that is proximate to the inner heater. A desired temperature setting is received and a servo control law is processed to identify a direct control setting of an inner voltage of the inner power supply and an open-loop control setting of an outer voltage for the outer power supply.
