Abstract

The focus of the paper is on the application of an experimental design methodology to a semi-conductor manufacturing simulation model. A complex whole line simulation model of a semiconductor fab is built. Seventeen input factors are set for investigation through a 2-stage group-screening experimental design. A multiple response regression metamodel is built to define the relationships between the significant input factors and the four response variables of interest. The combination of simulation modeling methods with experimental design and regression analysis techniques allows the development of a flexible tool for capacity analysis of a semiconductor manufacturing facility.
