RadAI WM-811K Wafer Defect Detection

A ResNet-based model for semiconductor wafer map defect classification, trained on the full WM-811K dataset.

Model Description

This model classifies semiconductor wafer map defects into 8 categories. Unlike many published results that use small cherry-picked subsets, this model was trained on the complete WM-811K dataset with real-world class imbalance.

Key differentiator: Trained on 172,000+ samples (100% of labeled data), not 902 cherry-picked samples (0.5%) as seen in some publications.

from PIL import Image
from scipy.ndimage import zoom

# Define model architecture

        self.base = models.resnet34(weights=None)
        self.base.conv1 = nn.Conv2d(1, 64, kernel_size=7, stride=2, padding=3, bias=False)
        self.base.fc = nn.Sequential(
            nn.Dropout(0.5),
            nn.Linear(self.base.fc.in_features, num_classes)
        )
    
    def forward(self, x):
        return self.base(x)

# Load model
model = RadAI_ResNet(num_classes=8)
checkpoint = torch.load('best_radai_resnet.pt', map_location='cpu')
model.load_state_dict(checkpoint['model_state_dict'])
model.eval()

# Class labels
CLASSES = ['Center', 'Donut', 'Edge-Loc', 'Edge-Ring', 'Loc', 'Random', 'Scratch', 'Near-full']

# Predict on a wafer map
def predict(wafer_map):
    """
    wafer_map: 2D numpy array (any size)
    returns: predicted class name, confidence
    """
    # Resize to 64x64
    h, w = wafer_map.shape
    resized = zoom(wafer_map, (64/h, 64/w), order=1)[:64, :64]
    
    # Normalize
    if resized.max() > 0:
        resized = resized / resized.max()
    
    # To tensor
    tensor = torch.FloatTensor(resized).unsqueeze(0).unsqueeze(0)
    
    # Predict
    with torch.no_grad():
        output = model(tensor)
        probs = torch.softmax(output, dim=1)
        pred_idx = output.argmax(1).item()
        confidence = probs[0, pred_idx].item()
    
    return CLASSES[pred_idx], confidence

# Example
# prediction, conf = predict(your_wafer_map)
# print(f"Predicted: {prediction} ({conf*100:.1f}%)")

Intended Use

• Semiconductor wafer defect classification
• Quality control automation
• Research and benchmarking
• Transfer learning base for similar domains (CdTe, CZT radiation detectors)

Limitations

• Trained on silicon wafer data (WM-811K)
• May require fine-tuning for other materials
• CPU-trained (GPU training may improve results)
• Class imbalance affects rare defect detection

Future Work

• GPU-accelerated training for higher accuracy
• Transfer learning to CdTe/CZT radiation detector defects
• Real-time inference optimization
