3. Accuracy and Precision

4. Accuracy of a measurement describes the difference between an observed value and the expected (true) value. If observed value is near the expected (true) value, measurement has high accuracy.
Precision of a measurement describes the differences among individual measurements themselves; if they are close together there is high precision.

5. Precision Repeatability Hysteresis
(As the idea is used in high tech manufacturing).
Repeatability
A term often used to indicate if the measuring system, the measuring device, the computer and the person, give the same measurement value each time a measurement is made under the same set of condition.
Hysteresis
A term used to indicate that a measurement system recording values of temperature, for example, does not give the same temperature value as the temperature is going up when compared to when the temperature is going down.

6. An Example for the term Repeatability
Precision
An Example for the term Repeatability
In the process of manufacturing 300 or so chip on the surface of each silicon wafer, a set of wafers
are placed in a very hot furnace.
In fact, the wafers shown entering this furnace will be placed in and out of the furnace at lest 10 time before the chips are completely fabricated.

7. Precision (Repeatability) The process specialist must operate
the furnace computer control
system and also analyze the
temperature data as the
furnace temperature goes up
and then down.
The wafers enter the furnace
when the furnace temperature
is at 700 oC. The temperature is then raised slowly a rate of , 5-10 oC per minute, until it gets over 1000 oC.

8. Precision (Repeatability) Device #1 #2 1010 oC 1011 oC 1012 oC 1009 oC
The table below shows the performance
of two different temperature sensors. Both sensors measure temperature from 700 oC to 1200oC. Either one could be use in the furnace.
Which one would you recommend be
use as a replacement sensor?

Data in table represents 5 repeated measurements for each device. All measurements taken at the same conditions

9. The table showed the performance of two new temperature sensors taking replicate measurements under the same furnace conditions. Either one could be used as a replacement for the temperature sensor now in use.
Which one would you recommend be use as a
replacement sensor?

1010 oC
1012 oC
1013oC
1011 oC

The correct one to select as a replacement is the one that is more repeatable.
Therefore, the only issue now is figure out how to calculate the repeatability.
Repeatability and deviation are calculated in a similar but not identical fashion.

There are many types of temperature sensors that can be used to measure the temperature inside a very hot furnace.
Most of these devices will measure temperature over a shorter range than 0 oC to 1200 oC.
When this is the case, the Repeatability calculation is done using a more general rule (equation).

Many temperature sensor can measure temperature over a shorter range than 0 oC to 1200 oC.
When this is the case, the Repeatability calculation is slightly different. } {
