Theme: Smart Manufacturing System Engineering for Semiconductor Factories

Presenters: Alan Weber (Cimetrix by PDF Solutions), Jon Holt (PDF Solutions)

Target audience: APC and smart manufacturing application developers, system engineers, and managers

Prerequisites: Keen interest in improving semiconductor manufacturing capability and control and a desire to understand the broader context of APC

Approach
This session covers a broad range of topics at limited depth to give participants an understanding of how APC and other smart manufacturing applications work together in a production environment. It identifies shared requirements such as data sources, standards, implementation technologies, and other system architectural elements that offer a unified perspective on this overall domain. Finally, it lists sources of information for those wanting to explore these topics in more depth.

Topics

- Smart Manufacturing scope and objectives

- Manufacturing stakeholders and their careabouts

- Factory applications and benefits

• “Traditional” APC (R2R control, FDC, VM,
• Related applications (health monitoring, fingerprinting, predictive maintenance)
• Manufacturing data analytics
• Operations management (scheduling, dispatching, optimization)
• Yield management/prediction
• Sub-fab and facilities control (integration, monitoring, control)

- Enabling industry standards

• Communication and control
• Traceability
• Metrics
• Digital twins
• Others

- Key implementation technologies

• AI/ML/DL
• Control system frameworks
• Cloud-based system architectures
• Operating systems/environments

- Implications for equipment and software suppliers

- Sources of additional information
