In particular, standardization of \"process flow\" is the most important factor in integrating various systems associated with semiconductor manufacturing.

Along with a case study of a wafer fab AMHS model, this paper includes an alternate approach to modeling interbay arrivals and delays and explores periods of peak transport demands. A From:To matrix was developed from a detailed simulation model with process flows to represent the hourly demand of bay-to-bay movements. A second From:To matrix was generated to represent the mean transport time of automated material handling. We examine the effect that these matrices have on simulation output and model performance. Three distributions, Constant, Normal, and Exponential, were used with each table. The comparison between detailed and matrix input results included the mean and 95th percentile of delivery times and lot cycle time differentials, as well as car utilization and model execution time. The Exponential distribution provided results closest to those of the detailed model.","PeriodicalId":289961,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of International Symposium on Semiconductor Manufacturing","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124393080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sub-half-micron devices have fine patterns and thin films. Therefore, the wafer surface is very sensitive to contamination. It is important to keep the wafer surface clean for producing high yield. Purified water plays a significant role in cleaning silicon wafers, because wafers are rinsed with water at the end of every process. So water, the final cleaning agent, has to be highly purified. In current water purifying systems, it is difficult to accomplish the water quality targets for sub-half-micron devices. We developed a new water purification system with three new technological innovations: the ion exchange resins capable of absorbing particles, the unit to ionize silicate impurities, and a two-stage vacuum tower. Optimal organization of these technologies makes it possible to achieve the highest purity with reduced cost. We present the technologies on effective removal of particles, efficient elimination of silicate impurities, and strict control of dissolved oxygen.","PeriodicalId":289961,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of International Symposium on Semiconductor Manufacturing","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130087396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
