반도체 FAB에서 웨이퍼 로트 적기운반을 위한 재공 저장 위치 선정 연구 = A WIP Allocation Approach for Enhancing On-Time Transfers of Wafer Lots in a Semiconductor Fabrication Facility

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper proposes a work-in-process (WIP) allocation approach to improve on-time transfers of a unified automated material handling system (AMHS) in a semiconductor fabrication facility (FAB). The real-time operation and control of the complex AMHS often cause delayed transfers of wafers to manufacturing machines and result in production loss. We introduce transfer-due-dates from storages to manufacturing machines to enhance the on-time transfers in the AMHS and develop a mathematical model to allocate the WIP to the optimized storage locations based on transfer-due-date. The simulation results demonstrate that the machine utilization as well as the AMHS capability for on-time transfers can be improved by assigning the wafers’ interim storage locations more appropriately.
