Automation in factory is an important decision to be taken at management level.
The level of automation at any fab depends on several factors, but primarily the volume in wafer starts or outs, age of equipment, complexity of process, etc. The other main aspect to fab automation lies with the kind of experience and technological maturity of the manufacturer. Setups with longer exposure to IC manufacturing and skilled manpower are more prepared and adaptable to integrate automation solutions within their fabs and various production sites.
Basic automation includes preventing wrong recipe errors by the technicians by automating recipe selection through GEM/SECS. Advanced fabs have far more automation done which includes Fault Detection and Classification (FDC), Yield Management software, Recipe Management System, Automated Material Handling System (AMHS), to name a few.
Semiconductor manufacturing is undoubtedly the most complex manufacturing environments. Reasons for this being strict production processes, complex expensive equipments, variable demand, high levels of automation and an huge pull of data. Yet, despite having various challenges, semiconductor manufacturing is a key industry in many industrialized nations and contributes substantially, both directly and to the global economy.
Semiconductor technology grows very fast and thus there is a strong positive force to increase productivity using the existing assests . And this positive force has lead to the need of full automation to increase the existing productive. In fab automation, technological upgrades have to be taken into considerations on continuous bases.
