What data for this category looks like
Data sources for semiconductor research reports include semiconductor industry teams at securities research institutes, public reports from semiconductor industry associations, operational data disclosed by wafer manufacturing and packaging/testing enterprises, and statistical documents from international semiconductor industry organizations. Update schedules follow industry events and periodic report deadlines, with no fixed weekly or monthly cycle.
A single document contains four modules: industry macro trends, detailed process data, revenue and capacity analysis of leading enterprises, and investment ratings. Metadata fields include process node, wafer capacity, revenue, publishing institution, publishing date, research report number, and other related information.
What constraints do these characteristics impose on the citation source and traceability link?
The multi-source nature of semiconductor research reports requires the traceability link to clearly distinguish the authority of different publishing entities, and avoid confusing third-party statistics with original analysis from leading securities firms.
Single documents are lengthy and contain a large number of professional terms and units. Retrieved valid fragments may be scattered across different chapters, so traceability must accurately locate specific paragraphs or page ranges.
The feature that fields include clear units requires retaining unit information during traceability to avoid data ambiguity. The lack of a fixed update cycle requires the traceability link to mark the publishing time of research reports, to ensure responses are based on the latest public data.
How to configure
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
maxContext | 8000–12000 characters | Semiconductor research reports have lengthy single-page content, and need to accommodate multiple retrieved report fragments and multi-turn conversation history |
Max knowledge base citations | Top 6–8 entries | The semiconductor sector has concentrated data sources; too many citations will dilute core analysis conclusions |
similarityThreshold | 0.72–0.80 | Semiconductor industry terms are highly professional, so low-match irrelevant report fragments need to be filtered out |
maxResponseTokens | 3000–4000 characters | Research report responses need to output complete analysis logic and traceability information to avoid truncating critical content |
quoteDisplayStyle | Retain metadata identifiers | Publishing institution and publishing date fields must be displayed to clearly indicate traceability targets |
The parameter values provided on this page are general recommendations to serve as a starting point for configuration. Actual values are affected by material format, data volume, and business rules. Specific issues require individual analysis. It is recommended to test on your own samples before finalizing settings.
Three common mistakes
- Phenomenon: Citation fields in API response results are empty or formatted incorrectly | Cause: The
quoteDisplayStyleconfiguration item is not enabled, or thesourceIncludeFieldsparameter is not properly configured to specify the research report metadata fields to extract - Phenomenon: Number of citations returned by retrieval exceeds the preset upper limit | Cause: The
Max knowledge base citationsparameter is not set, or the parameter value does not match the actual number of traceability information to be displayed - Phenomenon: A red error prompt "Missing citation source fields" pops up on the interface | Cause: The "Retain metadata" option is not enabled during the knowledge base parsing process, so traceability-required fields such as publishing institution and publishing date are not extracted
How to confirm the configuration is complete
- Upload a single semiconductor research report, view the parsed document details, and confirm that metadata fields such as publishing institution, publishing date, and research report number have been correctly extracted
- Submit a test question about the report content, and verify that the source identifiers of the cited fragments in the returned result match the metadata of the uploaded document
- Adjust the
similarityThresholdparameter value, and verify that low-match irrelevant research report fragments are automatically filtered - Call the API interface, check that the returned
quotesfield contains complete traceability information, including fragment content, source institution, and publishing time
