Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Feedback controlled electromigration (FCE) methods have been developed to control electromigration and avoid catastrophic instability. The FCE procedure can successfully control metal nanowires with quantized conductance and make atomic junctions. FCE scheme is tuned by many parameters such as threshold differential conductance GTH, feedback voltage VFB, and voltage step VSTEP and so on. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the FCE procedure according to the situation for precise and stable control of the quantized conductance of metal nanowires. However, the conventional system selects optimum parameters based on human experiments. This process may not necessarily be optimum for the FCE procedure. Hence, in order to address these problems, we focus on artificial intelligence (AI) approach. In this study, in order to realize AI approach for fabrication of nanoscale device, we designed intelligent control system for FCE. The system is composed by three kinds of AI engines that play a role in learning, evaluation and inference. These engines can determine the optimum VFB parameter without human intervention. Therefore, it is considered that intelligent control system allows us to improve the controllability of quantized conductance of Au atomic junctions with appropriate VFB parameters.
