Abstract:
A semiconductor fabrication architecture which includes a middleware component, a fabrication facility coupled to the middleware component, a real time dispatcher application program interface coupled between the fabrication facility and the middleware component, a work in progress application program interface coupled between the fabrication facility and the middleware component, an enterprise resource planning system coupled to the middleware component, and an order processing system coupled to the middleware component. The fabrication facility includes a manufacturing execution system and a real time dispatch system. The manufacturing execution system tracks overall processing of semiconductor wafers. The real time dispatch system provides near real time information regarding processing of semiconductor wafers. The real time dispatcher application program interfaces publishing information to the middleware component.
