`
`Analysis of Infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,725,402 by Huawei Device USA Inc., Huawei Device Co., Ltd., and HiSilicon Technologies Co., Ltd.
` (Based on Public Information Only)
`
`Plaintiff Ocean Semiconductor LLC (“Ocean Semiconductor”), provides this preliminary and exemplary infringement analysis with respect to
`
`infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,725,402, entitled “METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FAULT DETECTION OF A PROCESSING TOOL AND
`CONTROL THEREOF USING AN ADVANCED PROCESS CONTROL (APC) FRAMEWORK” (the “’402 patent”) by Huawei Device USA Inc., Huawei
`Device Co., Ltd., and HiSilicon Technologies Co., Ltd. (“Huawei”). The following chart illustrates an exemplary analysis regarding infringement by Defendant
`Huawei’s semiconductor products, systems, devices, components, and integrated circuits, and products containing such circuits, fabricated or manufactured
`using PDF Solutions, Inc.’s (“PDF Solutions”) platforms, and/or framework, including PDF Solutions’ software and APC system, including the Exensio
`platform hardware and/or software (collectively, “Exensio”) and/or other APC system and platform hardware and/or software. Such products include, without
`limitation, SoC chipsets and solutions (e.g., Hi3559A V100, Hi3519A V100, Hi3516D V300, Hi3556A V100, Hi3559 V200, Hi3559A V100, Hi3559C V100,
`Hi3559 V100, Hi3716M V430, Hi3716M V430, Hi3798C V200, Hi3798M V200H, Hi3798M V300, Hi3798M V310, Hi3796M V200, Hi3798M V200,
`Hi3796M V100, Hi3798M V100, Hi3716M V420, Hi3716M V410, and Hi3751 V553), processors (e.g., Hi3536, Hi3536C, Hi3536D V100, Hi3531D V100,
`Hi3521D V100, Hi3520D V400, Hi3520D V300, and Hi3520D V200), TV solutions (e.g., Hi3731 V201, Hi3731 V101, Hi3751 V811, HI3751 V810, Hi3751
`V551, Hi3751 V730, Hi3751 V620, Hi3751 V510, Hi3751 V310, Hi3751 V320, and Hi3751 V600), Kirin solutions (e.g., Kirin 9000/E, Kirin 1020, Kirin 990,
`Kirin 980, Kirin 970, Kirin 960, Kirin 950, Kirin 930, Kirin 920, Kirin 910, and Kirin 710); Ascend solutions (e.g., Ascend 310 and Ascend 910); Kunpeng
`solutions (e.g., Kunpeng 920); and Balong solutions (e.g., Balong 5000, Balong 5G01, Balong 765, Balong 750, Balong 720, Balong 710, and Balong 700),
`systems, products, or devices containing these solutions, and similar systems, products, devices, and integrated circuits (collectively, the “’402 Infringing
`Instrumentalities”).
`
`The analysis set forth below is based only upon information from publicly available resources regarding the ’402 Infringing Instrumentalities, as
`Huawei has not yet provided any non-public information.
`
`Unless otherwise noted, Ocean Semiconductor contends that Huawei directly infringes the ’402 patent in violation of 35 U.S.C. § 271(g) by using,
`
`selling, and/or offering to sell in the United States, and/or importing into the United States, the ’402 Infringing Instrumentalities. The following exemplary
`analysis demonstrates that infringement. Unless otherwise noted, Ocean Semiconductor further contends that the evidence below supports a finding of indirect
`infringement under 35 U.S.C. § 271(b) in conjunction with other evidence of liability.
`
`Unless otherwise noted, Ocean Semiconductor believes and contends that each element of each claim asserted herein is literally met through Huawei’s
`
`provision or importation of the ’402 Infringing Instrumentalities. However, to the extent that Huawei attempts to allege that any asserted claim element is not
`literally met, Ocean Semiconductor believes and contends that such elements are met under the doctrine of equivalents. More specifically, in its investigation
`and analysis of the ’402 Infringing Instrumentalities, Ocean Semiconductor did not identify any substantial differences between the elements of the patent
`claims and the corresponding features of the Infringing Instrumentalities, as set forth herein. In each instance, the identified feature of the ’402 Infringing

`
`Instrumentalities performs at least substantially the same function in substantially the same way to achieve substantially the same result as the corresponding
`claim element.
`
`Ocean Semiconductor notes that the present claim chart and analysis are necessarily preliminary in that Ocean Semiconductor has not obtained
`substantial discovery from Huawei nor has Huawei disclosed any detailed analysis for its non-infringement position, if any. Further, Ocean Semiconductor
`does not have the benefit of claim construction or expert discovery. Ocean Semiconductor reserves the right to supplement and/or amend the positions taken in
`this preliminary and exemplary infringement analysis, including with respect to literal infringement and infringement under the doctrine of equivalents, if and
`when warranted by further information obtained by Ocean Semiconductor, including but not limited to information adduced through information exchanges
`between the parties, fact discovery, claim construction, expert discovery, and/or further analysis.

`
`
`
`
`PDF’s Exensio System sends the state data from the first interface to a fault detection unit, wherein the act of sending
`comprises sending the state data from the first interface to a data collection unit.
`
`For example, the Exensio System includes a centralized database as a data collection unit that receives the state data:
`
`“The Exensio database integrates, organizes, consolidates, aligns and tracks data from all process and testing data
`sources. This drives fast, efficient data analysis, correlation between data sources and drill-down to tool and test data.
`The database genealogy fully supports lot, wafer and die level traceability from wafer start to multi-chip packaged
`product.”

`Oct. 12, 2020).
`
`This centralized database can also be used as a data collection unit to store fault detection and classification data:
`
`“… Dedicated centralized database — Exensio –Control provides solutions fitted to FDC requirements. The entire fab's
`FDC data can be stored in one single location, enabling further analyses such as trend analysis or yield excursion root-

`protocol to a second
`communications protocol
`compatible with the fault
`detection unit;
`
`PDF’s Exensio System translates the state data from a first communications protocol to a second communications
`protocol compatible with the fault detection unit.
`
`As an example, the Exensio System translates the state data from a first communications protocol to a second
`communications protocol compatible with the fault detection unit as part of the “signal transformation and
`summarization process” such that it can acquires “all the equipment and logistics data for FDC analysis, in any format
`and from any source”:
`
`“Exensio –Control is a scalable Fault Detection and Classification (FDC) software solution that controls semiconductor
`manufacturing equipment and processes. Exensio-Control allows manufacturers to accurately detect and identify
`process or tool problems that arise during production, in real-time.
`
`
`• Wide data acquisition capabilities — Exensio –Control acquires all the equipment and logistics data for FDC
`analysis, in any format and from any source (Interface A, databases, SECS/HSMS, automation, files, etc.)
`• Advanced analysis capabilities — Exensio –Control includes signal transformation and summarization,
`univariate SPC, multivariate fault detection and classification functions, plus meta-analysis based on indicators.
`In addition, Exensio –Control provides off-line and historical analysis capabilities to test FDC control strategies
`before deployment.
`• Real-time alarms and events management — Exensio –Control centralizes and assesses events and alarms to
`trigger the appropriate action. Equipment alarms and events are overlaid with trace and univariate SPC charts
`and can be analyzed in conjunction with FDC alarms. … ”

`
`
`As another example, because the Exensio System accepts multiple data types and/or formats of the state data, it
`necessarily translates these data types from a first communications protocol to a second communications protocol
`compatible with the fault detection unit in order that the fault detection unit can read and understand the state data:

`
`As another example, because the Exensio System supports state data from more than 100 fabrication tools, 20 testers,
`and 160 assembly tools and 50 data types, it necessarily translates such data from a first communications protocol to a
`second communications protocol compatible with the fault detection unit in order that the fault detection unit can read

`As yet another example, because the Exensio System supports state data from more than 100 equipment models for
`manufacturing, 150 equipment models for assembly, and 50 testers, probers, and handler models for test, it necessarily

`“… Real-time alarms and events management — Exensio –Control centralizes and assesses events and alarms to trigger
`the appropriate action. Equipment alarms and events are overlaid with trace and univariate SPC charts and can be
`analyzed in conjunction with FDC alarms. …”

`
`As an example, the Exensio System sends a signal by the framework to the first interface reflective of the
`predetermined action as part of a feedback system in order to update its database and continue monitoring the
`processing pipeline to improve product and process control:
`
`
`wherein performing a
`predetermined action further
`comprises sending a signal
`by the framework to the first
`interface reflective of the
`predetermined action.
