A new technique is presented to construct a predictive model of plasma etch process. This was accomplished by combining a backpropagation neural network (BPNN) and a genetic algorithm (GA). The predictive model constructed in this way is referred to as a GA-BPNN. The GA played a role of controlling training factors simultaneously. The training factors to be optimized are the hidden neuron, training tolerance, initial weight magnitude, and two gradients of bipolar sigmoid and linear functions. Each etch response was optimized separately. The proposed scheme was evaluated with a set of experimental plasma etch data. The etch process was characterized by a $2^3$ full factorial experiment. The etch responses modeled are aluminum (A1) etch rate, silica profile angle, A1 selectivity, and dc bias. Additional test data were prepared to evaluate model appropriateness. The GA-BPNN was compared to a conventional BPNN. Compared to the BPNN, the GA-BPNN demonstrated an improvement of more than 20% for all etch responses. The improvement was significant in the case of A1 etch rate.

This article aims to compare the accuracy of the Backpropagation Neural Network (BPNN) and Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) approaches in recognizing Sundanese characters. Based on experiments, the level of accuracy that has been obtained by the BPNN technique is 95.23% and the LVQ technique is 66.66%. Meanwhile, the learning time that has been required by the BPNN technique is 2 minutes 45 seconds and then the LVQ method is 17 minutes 22 seconds. The results indicated that the BPNN technique was better than the LVQ technique in recognizing Sundanese characters in accuracy and learning time.

A new technique is presented to construct predictive models of plasma etch processes. This was accomplished by combining a backpropagation neural network (BPNN) and a random generator (RC). The RG played a critical role to control neuron gradients in the hidden layer, The predictive model constructed in this way is referred to as a randomized BPNN (RG-BPNN). The proposed scheme was evaluated with a set of experimental plasma etch process data. The etch process was characterized by a 2$^3$ full factorial experiment. The etch responses modeled are 4, including aluminum (Al) etch rate, profile angle, Al selectivity, and do bias. Additional test data were prepared to evaluate model appropriateness. The performance of RC-BPNN was evaluated as a function of the number of hidden neurons and the range of gradient. for given range and hidden neurons, 100 sets of random neuron gradients were generated and among them one best set was selected for evaluation. Compared to the conventional BPNN, the proposed RC-BPNN demonstrated about 50％ improvements in all comparisons. This illustrates that the RG-BPNN of multi-valued gradients is an effective way to considerably improve the predictive ability of current BPNN of single-valued gradient.

Using a backpropagation neural network (BPNN), a high power semiconductor device was empirically modeled. The device modeled is a n-LDMOSFET and its electrical characteristics were measured with a HP4156A and a Tektronix curve tracer 370A. The drain-source current $(I_{DS})$ was measured over the drain-source voltage $(V_{DS})$ ranging between 1 V to 200 V at each gate-source voltage $(V_{GS}).$ For each $V_{GS},$ the BPNN was trained with 100 training data, and the trained model was tested with another 100 test data not pertaining to the training data. The prediction accuracy of each $V_{GS}$ model was optimized as a function of training factors, including training tolerance, number of hidden neurons, initial weight distribution, and two gradients of activation functions. Predictions from optimized models were highly consistent with actual measurements.

본 연구에서는 인공신경망 알고리즘을 이용하여 생물공정에서 수집된 형광스펙트럼 데이터를 분류, 분석하고 공정변수들을 예측하기 위한 공정의 모델링에 대해서 논의하였다. SOM에 의해 분류된 전파장 스펙트럼 데이터들은 발효공정의 변수와 형광데이터 사이에 비선형관계를 설명하기 위하여 사용되었다. BPNN알고리즘은 SOM에서 분류된 데이터들을 입력자료로 이용하여 공정에 대한 모델식을 세우고, 이를 이용하여 배출가스 내 $CO_2$ 농도 및 발효액 중 세포농도와 같은 공정변수들을 예측하는데 사용되었다. 또한 BPNN 모델은 강력하면서도 훈련데이터의 범위를 넘어서는 공정의 데이터들을 예측할 수 있기 때문에 폭넓은 활용가능성을 가지고 있다.

A technique to model plasma processes was presented. This was accomplished by combining the backpropagation neural network (BPNN) and genetic algorithm (GA). Particularly, the GA was used to optimize five training factor effects by balancing the training and test errors. The technique was evaluated with the plasma etch data, characterized by a face-centered Box Wilson experiment. The etch outputs modeled include Al etch rate, AI selectivity, DC bias, and silica profile angle. Scanning electron microscope was used to quantify the etch outputs. For comparison, the etch outputs were modeled in a conventional fashion. GABPNN models demonstrated a considerable improvement of more than 25% for all etch outputs only but he DC bias. About 40% improvements were even achieved for the profile angle and AI etch rate. The improvements demonstrate that the presented technique is effective to improving BPNN prediction performance.

In radio-over-fiber (RoF) systems, nonlinear compensation is very important to meet the error vector magnitude (EVM) requirement of the mobile network standards. In this study, a nonlinear compensation technique based on an artificial neural network (ANN) is proposed for RoF systems. This technique is based on a backpropagation neural network (BPNN) with one hidden layer and three neuron units in this study. The BPNN obtains the inverse response of the system to compensate for nonlinearities. The EVM of the signal is measured by changing the number of neurons and the hidden layers in a RoF system modeled by a measured data. Based on our simulation results, it is concluded that one hidden layer and three neuron units are adequate for the RoF system. Our results showed that the EVMs were improved from 4.027% to 2.605% by using the proposed ANN compensator.

In this paper, the effect of semi-rigid connections on the stability bearing capacity of cross-bracings in steel tubular transmission towers is investigated. Herein, a prediction method based on the hybrid model which is a combination of particle swarm optimization (PSO) and backpropagation neural network (BPNN) is proposed to accurately predict the stability bearing capacity of cross-bracings with semi-rigid connections and to efficiently conduct its probabilistic assessment. Firstly, the establishment of the finite element (FE) model of cross-bracings with semi-rigid connections is developed on the basis of the development of the mechanical model. Then, a dataset of 7425 samples generated by the FE model is used to train and test the PSO-BPNN model, and the accuracy of the proposed method is evaluated. Finally, the probabilistic assessment for the stability bearing capacity of cross-bracings with semi-rigid connections is conducted based on the proposed method and the Monte Carlo simulation, in which the geometric and material properties including the outer diameter and thickness of cross-sections and the yield strength of steel are considered as random variables. The results indicate that the proposed method based on the PSO-BPNN model has high accuracy in predicting the stability bearing capacity of cross-bracings with semi-rigid connections. Meanwhile, the semi-rigid connections could enhance the stability bearing capacity of cross-bracings and the reliability of cross-bracings would significantly increase after considering semi-rigid connections.
