01
Problem
Tokyo Electron, one of the world's leading semiconductor equipment companies, partnered with Aitomatic to pilot a multi-agent product for semiconductor process optimization.
TEL engineers relied on customer specifications, historical runs, process data, and expert judgment to define etching parameters. The process was slow, difficult to standardize, and costly when decisions went wrong. A failed adjustment could delay production or waste a wafer batch, costing approximately $10K to $20K per cycle.
02
Solution
GMA/SSA helped engineers structure optimization work, evaluate parameter recommendations, and correct weak agent logic before applying a recommendation.
For each problem, a coordinating agent formed a team of relevant specialist agents. Each specialist was conditioned with a defined role, technical context, operating constraints, and success criteria. Engineers could inspect the reasoning, adjust conditions, identify missing or faulty logic, and correct the relevant agent without restarting the full workflow.
03
my role
As Head of Product & Design, I shaped the agent team model, conditioning framework, decision workflow, and interaction model for diagnosing and correcting agent behavior. I directed the design execution with engineering and validated the product with TEL engineers against real technical workflows and production constraints.
04
impact
In pilot validation, GMA/SSA reduced the time required to reach an approved parameter set by 30%. The pilot showed approximately $20K in potential savings per etching cycle and more than $10M in projected annual savings across customer sites.
