Abstract
This thesis presents a physics-based machine learning framework for modeling a dielectric lifetime distribution in the presence of manufacturing process variations. It uses a Semantic Autoencoder that provides insight into the dielectric thickness distribution and parameters of the underlying percolation model. Experiments show that the model is applicable to various types of dielectric films. The autoencoder may be configured to model intrinsic breakdown or to model breakdown resulting from competing failure mechanisms, e.g. intrinsic and extrinsic.
