Particle and Material Control Automation System for VLSI Manufacturing
SourceThis paper describes a practical automation system for integrated circuit fabrication combining the SMIF (Standard Mechanical InterFace) concept with a new approach to material control. SMIF implementation is shown to provide a cost effective clean environment and a unique opportunity for information management automation. Each SMIF port acts as a material “gateway”, controlling lot processing via data attached directly to the SMIF pod. Misprocessing is eliminated, particulate contamination is reduced, and productivity is improved.
