Abstract: | Process modelling refers to the development of a process model that serves to provide the input-output relationship of a process,
while process optimisation provides the optimum operating conditions of a process for a high-yield, low cost and robust operation.
Normally, process modelling is a starting point of process optimisation. In this paper, a method of integrating artificial
neural networks with a gradient search method for process modelling and optimisation is presented. Artificial neural networks
are used to develop process models while a gradient search method is used in process optimisation. Application of the method
to the modelling and optimisation of epoxy dispensing for microchip encapsulation is described. Results of the validation
tests indicate that good quality of encapsulation can be obtained based on the proposed method. |
