NEURAL NETWORK-BASED ERROR COMPENSATION METHOD FOR MASS TRANSFER OF MINI-LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE (MINI-LED) CHIPS

A neural network-based error compensation method for mass transfer of mini-light-emitting diode (Mini-LED) chips includes the following steps. (S1) An automated optical re-inspection result is obtained as a first result. (S2) The first result is sorted and normalized to obtain a second result. (S3) Nearest-neighbor interpolation is performed on a Mini-LED chip with a transfer status identifier being abnormal, and a differential of path variables of each Mini-LED chip is calculated. (S4) A multi-layer neural network model is defined. A loss function is constructed. A weight of the multi-layer neural network model is updated with the loss function, until no overfitting is observed. (S5) A chip transfer path is generated and input into the multi-layer neural network model to obtain a predicted transfer error value, and mass transfer of the Mini-LED chip is performed based on the predicted transfer error value.
