Interface State Density Prediction between an Insulator and a Semiconductor by Gaussian Process Regression Models for a Modified Process.

ABSTRACT: During data-driven process condition optimization on a laboratory scale, only a small-size data set is accessible and should be effectively utilized. On the other hand, during process development, new operations are frequently inserted or current operations are modified. These accessible data sets are somewhat related but not exactly the same type. In this study, we focus on the prediction of the quality of the interface between an insulator and GaN as a semiconductor for the potential application of GaN power semiconductor devices. The quality of the interface was represented as the interface state density, D_it, and the inserted operation to the process was the ultraviolet (UV)/O₃-gas treatment. Our retrospective evaluation of model-building approaches for D_it prediction from a process condition revealed that for the UV/O₃-treated interfaces, data of interfaces without the treatment contributed to performance improvement. Such performance improvement was not observed when using a data set of Si as the semiconductor. As a modeling method, the automatic relevance vector-based Gaussian process regression with the prior distribution of the length-scale parameters exhibited a relatively high predictive performance and represented a reasonable uncertainty of prediction as reflected by the distance to the training data set. This feature is a prerequisite for a potential application of Bayesian optimization. Furthermore, hyperparameters in the prior distribution of the length-scales could be optimized by leave-one-out cross-validation.

Project description:Microgrids, denoting small-scale and self-sustaining grids, constitute a pivotal component in future power systems with a high penetration of renewable generators. The inherent uncertainty tied to renewable power generation, typified by photovoltaic and wind turbine systems, necessitates counterbalancing mechanisms. These mechanisms encompass Energy storage systems or conventional thermal fossil-fuel generators imbued with heightened flexibility. Addressing the uncertainty stemming from renewable generators mandates a cost-effective assessment and operational strategy for said compensatory devices. To this end, myriad uncertainty factors warrant scrutiny, conceivably concretized into a unified probability distribution function (PDF) that takes into account their temporal inter-dependencies. Diverse uncertainty factors, characterized by varying marginal distributions and scales, can be assimilated into a multivariate probability distribution through a conversion to normal distributions via rank correlation. However, with the escalation in the number of uncertainty factors embraced within a microgrid context, the endeavour becomes notably intricate when aiming to define conditional probability distributions originating from joint PDFs. This paper presents a method proposing the modelling of net-load forecast error distribution, considering the interplay among uncertainty factors. The approach introduces a data-driven Gaussian process regression technique for training and validating conditional PDFs among these uncertainty factors. Notably, this approach facilitates the transformation of said factors into normal distributions while preserving their inherent marginal characteristics. The resultant conditional density function, as per the proposed methodology, exhibits enhanced suitability for estimating net-load error distribution. Consequently, the conditional density function stemming from this proposed approach demonstrates superior aptitude in approximating the distribution of net load error.
