LP-based capacity planning in semiconductor manufacturing

Zhang Tao

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

The process of semiconductor manufacturing is highly complex and capital intensive.The complexity in semiconductor industry is mainly due to multiple product mix, complicated manu-facturing process, and requirement for high machine utilization. In this paper, we discuss how to uselinear programming to model the semiconductor assembly and test process. We demonstrate that,comparing with traditional manual work using spreadsheets, the LP-based system can significantlyreduce planning responsiveness time while improve the machine utilization of bottlenecks.
