본 연구는 국내 300mm 웨이퍼를 이용하여 반도체 제품의 제조라인을 대상으로 수행 되었던 자동화 생산을 위한 일정계획 시스템 재 구축 프로젝트에 관한 내용이다. 본 프로젝트의 주요 목적은 반도체 제조라인 내의 세정, 확산, 포토, 증착과 같은 주요공정들을 대상으로 효율적인 일정계획 수립 알고리듬을 개발하고 그것을 실시간 일정계획 시스템에 구현함으로써 반도체 제조라인의 자동화 생산률을 향상시키는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 여러가지 주요 공정들 중 제한된 대기시간 제약과 배치공정의 특성이 존재하는 세정과 확산으로 이루어진 연속공정 구간을 대상으로 개발된 일정계획 알고리듬과 실시간 일정계획 시스템의 개발에 대한 내용에 초점을 두었다. 일정계획 시스템 재 구축 프로젝트가 시작 될 시점에 세정과 확산 공정의 자동화 생산률은 각각 50%와 10% 정도 였으나, 프로젝트 수행 완료 후에는 각각 91%와 83% 까지 자동화 생산률이 향상 되었다. 자동화 생산률의 향상은 작업자의 인건비 절감, 생산성의 향상, 지속적이고 편차 없는 생산을 의미한다.

This study focuses on the problem of scheduling wafer lots of several recipe(operation condition) types in the photolithography workstation in a semiconductor wafer fabrication facility, and sequence-dependent recipe set up times may be required at the photolithography machines. In addition, a lot is able to be operated at a machine when the reticle(mask) corresponding to the recipe type is set up in the photolithography machine. We suggest various heuristic algorithms, in which developed recipe selection rules and lot selection rules are used to generate reasonable schedules to minimizing the total weighted flowtime. Results of computational tests on randomly generated test problems show that the suggested algorithms outperform a scheduling method used in a real manufacturing system in terms of the total weighted flowtime of the wafer lots with ready times.

Less researches on AGV(Automated Guided Vehicle) path configurations have been conducted so far while more studies have been placed in determining AGV guide path directions and pick-up/drop-off station locations, and routing/dispatching/scheduling strategies. In practice plenty of concerns fall in preventing deadlock and simplifying AGV system control through an appropriate AGV path configuration. In order to meet those requirements, a new AGV path configuration, inter-loop stocker type is introduced here. The stocker serves as relaying material between loops as well as stocking material. Automated material handling systems using AGVs play an important role in semiconductor industry including TFT LCD and memory/non-memory chip. A practical example of implementing the inter-loop stocker concept successfully in the TFT LCD fab is presented in this paper.

Recently, ubiquitous computing paradigm considers as a tool for making innovation and competitive strength in manufacturing industry like other industries. Particularly, the location-based service that enables us to trace real-time logistics make effective management of schedules for inventory control, facilities and equipments, jobs planning, and facilitate the processes of information management and intelligence, which relate with ERP and SCM in organizations. Our study tries to build the location-based system for products of semiconductors in manufacturing place and suggests the good conditions and effective tracking procedures for positions of products. Our study show that the system is good for the saving of time in tracking products, however, it has to be improved in terms of accuracy. The study verifies the application of RFID technology in manufacturing industry and suggests the improvement of photograph process through RFID. In addition, our research introduces the future operation of FAB in semiconductors' processes that relate with real-time automation and RFID in manufacturing company.
