A critical aspect of semiconductor manufacturing is the design and analysis of material handling and production control polices to optimize fab performance. As wafer sizes have in...
—For multiclass flow line models, we identify a class of service times that allow a decomposition of the system into subsets of servers called channels. In each channel, the cus...
Cluster tools play an important role in modern semiconductor fabs. Due to their complexity in configuration and their varying material flow, the creation of accurate throughput mo...

In semiconductor fabrication facilities, it can be observed an increase in work in progress (WIP) even weeks after the failure of the bottleneck workcenter. In this paper, we deve...
Photolithography is generally regarded as the most constraining element in semiconductor manufacturing. This is primarily attributable to the high capital investment and extensive...
