Semiconductor Assembly and Test Production Line Simulation Technology

Abstract:

The technology to simulate the semiconductor production line, consider main factors that will impact the production, and get the output from the simulation system as the reference for production scheduling is presented in this paper. By initiating the simulation model, include the die delivery information, equipment occupation information and etc. base on the FIFO (first in first out) and other principles, simulated the discrete event with four categories and also for two basic actions. The prediction result aligned with the actual production by T test. Changing the scheduling schemes at the same initial state of product line, engineer could obtain the optimal scheduling scheme by the comparing different simulation results. This study is not only an efficient, visual scheduling method, but also it is the basis for product re-scheduling. And this technology has been deployed in one ATM (Assembly and Test Manufacturing factory) factory in Chengdu and gets positive feedback.
