The new statistic, referred to as the integration statistic, is based on the integration of the volumetric error between the target and the actual surfaces. Comparison with the traditional SNR uniformity metric indicates that the integration statistic provides a more consistent estimate of the uniformity for different numbers of measurements and different orientations of those measurements to the uniformity pattern.","PeriodicalId":123707,"journal":{"name":"Seventeenth IEEE/CPMT International Electronics Manufacturing Technology Symposium.

Single-wafer cleaning is also a broad area of research and development, both in industry and academia, although single-wafer cleaning is not as mature a technology as rapid thermal processing. This paper's objective is to show how single-wafer processing can improve a fab's throughput time. Throughput time (also called cycle time) is the length of time that passes from when a wafer enters a fab to begin processing until all wafer processing is completed and the wafer is ready for final probe. This paper only considers front-end processing.","PeriodicalId":123707,"journal":{"name":"Seventeenth IEEE/CPMT International Electronics Manufacturing Technology Symposium.

The most technically challenging process for practical single-wafer implementation is thick oxidation (e.g., for device isolation). In general, the tradeoff between process uniformity, yield and throughput, for each thermal process, will be reflected in the single-wafer vs. minibatch configuration of these tools. The last bastion of large batch processing will probably be wet immersion cleanups, which are less sensitive to the \"device- and wafer-scaling pressures\". However, the migration of thermal processing away from large batches will exert \"logistical pressure\" on the associated cleanups to follow suit. Additional motivations for single-wafer processing are discussed.","PeriodicalId":123707,"journal":{"name":"Seventeenth IEEE/CPMT International Electronics Manufacturing Technology Symposium.

To provide short cycle time and precise delivery to satisfy customers' expectation is always the major task. The difficulties encountered are complex process and product mix, unscheduled machines down time and equipment arrangement. How to dispatch lots effectively has become a very important topic in handling manufacturing. A dispatching algorithm named \"Required Turn Rate (RTR)\" is developed. According to the level of current wafers in process (WIP), RTR algorithm revises the due date for every lot to satisfy the demand from Master Production Scheduling (MPS). Further to calculate the required turn rate of each lot based on process flow to fulfill the delivery requirement. RTR algorithm determines not only due date and production priority of each lot, but also provides required turn rate for local dispatching. Therefore, local dispatching systems of each working area will dispatch the lots by using required turn rate to maximize output and machines utilization.","PeriodicalId":123707,"journal":{"name":"Seventeenth IEEE/CPMT International Electronics Manufacturing Technology Symposium.

In addition, we review a set of submodels/templates developed in WITNESS and ARENA which give the user the capability to rapidly model a line while still providing them with access to a more general simulation environment for model customization and enhancement. These tools require less familiarity with simulation constructs allowing them to be effectively used by the industrial and tooling engineers typically involved in production line design and modification.","PeriodicalId":123707,"journal":{"name":"Seventeenth IEEE/CPMT International Electronics Manufacturing Technology Symposium.

Our approach allows us to model the supply chain as an integrated network and gives us the ability to identify and therefore better manage the constraints in the system, and to understand and model the response and constraint buffers. The benefits of such an approach are the ability to reflect the global (company wide) impact of local decisions, advance warning of potential problems, and the speed of planning and execution.","PeriodicalId":123707,"journal":{"name":"Seventeenth IEEE/CPMT International Electronics Manufacturing Technology Symposium.

A response to this challenge has been the recent activity to find drop-in replacements for tin/lead solders which do not contain lead. Switching from a well characterised and mature interconnection medium, such as the tin-lead and tin-lead-silver alloys, includes a number of potential risks if the proposed alternatives are not sufficiently understood. Candidate materials will have to satisfy a number of demands, such as those relating to reliability and manufacturing compatibility. Reliability demands include fatigue resistance, predictable failure modes, toughness, understanding of the microstructure evolution over time and satisfactory in-service environmental performance (temperature, vibration and humidity). Manufacturing demands include a reasonable liquidus temperature and percentage heat above liquidus to achieve satisfactory wetting, compatibility with current production equipment and product materials and a reasonable shelf life. This paper presents some of the results of an ongoing series of manufacturability trials at Loughborough which are assessing the solderability of various component termination finishes and styles with two candidate lead free solders under a number of different test regimes, these being representative of proposed manufacturing conditions (temperature and atmosphere inert).","PeriodicalId":123707,"journal":{"name":"Seventeenth IEEE/CPMT International Electronics Manufacturing Technology Symposium.

The short fault can be determined by as few as four measurements. The current driving points are also utilized as voltage sensing points.
