A method of building a set of experimental prediction model that requires
fewer experimental frequency, shorter prediction time and higher
prediction accuracy by using the advantages of combining the experimental
data of Taguchi method and neural network learning is disclosed. The
error between the experimentally measured result of photolithography and
the simulated result of the theoretical model of near field
photolithography is set as an objective function of an inverse method for
back calculating fiber probe aperture size, which is adopted in the
following Taguchi experiment. The analytical result of Taguchi neural
network model of the present invention proves that the Taguchi neural
network model can provide more accurate prediction result than the
conventional Taguchi network model, and at the same time, improve the
demerit of requiring massive training examples of the conventional neural
network.
