Common CIM Data Models Can Accelerate a Fab’s Time-To-Productivity
by Madhav Kidambi
In today’s fabs, it has become increasingly difficult and time-consuming to integrate and harmonize the data coming from diverse computer-integrated manufacturing applications. In fact, this is now a major stumbling block to the rapid deployment of these systems and, hence, to the ability of a fab to quickly achieve targeted productivity.
The IRDS and Factory Integration: The Way Forward for Smart Manufacturing in Microelectronics
By James Moyne and Steve Moffatt
The new International Roadmap for Devices and Systems charts an end-to-end course for the computing ecosystem, including device manufacturing, and captures the trends in "smart" manufacturing for the microelectronics manufacturing industries.
200mm: The State of the Art—Then and Now
Mike Rosa, Ph.D.
For close to a decade, the 200mm semiconductor state-of-the-art has been in a constant cycle of re-invention. Today’s leading consumer, medical, communications, industrial and automotive products are driving brisk demand for all kinds of devices.
Annual Engineering Event Stimulates Cross-Divisional Innovation
A series of annual internal technology meetings, Applied’s Engineering and Technology (ET) Conference program, has become an effective way to bring together the company’s engineers from far-flung regions to collaborate on innovative technology concepts and exchange ideas on processes, equipment, and support services.
