Today's semiconductor manufacturers use highly specialized
manufacturing equipment to make their products. Products are
built one step at a time, with each step being either a process or
a metrology operation ( a metrology operation is an operation where
the product's progress is measured ). This equipment is operated
by trained operators, who have to correctly setup and run the
equipment. These operators must also interact with other
manufacturing systems to get product information and record data.
These systems would include : a MES system ( Manufacturing Execution System ) used to keep track of the product as it is being produced, an RMS system ( Recipe management system ) used to maintain the recipe used at each operation, and an SPC system ( Statistical Process and Control ) used to monitor and control the products' quality.
The tasks performed by the operator quickly become repetitive and time consuming. As a result, mistakes are sometimes made. Mistakes which can lead to the scrapping of a product, and loss of important data, to name a few.
The solution to this is to automate the equipment and integrate it with the other manufacturing systems. We can do this by remotely controlling the equipment through its external interface, and electronically interacting with the other manufacturing systems. This reduces the effort on the part of the operator, allowing time for more important tasks. The product will be processed correctly, and all the interactions with the other manufacturing systems are done automatically.
