Abstract

Manufacturing is a complex interaction of various functions. Semiconductor manufacturing is one of the most complex processes. It can have over 300 discrete manufacturing steps. This results in software complexity. As software grows in size, the task of systems analysis becomes increasingly difficult and time consuming. By taking an Object Oriented (00) Approach to solve this problem, reusability becomes possible. Sematech, which is a semiconductor manufacturing consortium has recognized this and has started work on development of 00 Framework.

This report presents analysis for a semiconductor assembly using the 00 methodology. Analysis is done to calculate manufacturing time for the individual assembly processes to help determine the resources. The results of this analysis can be extended to various functions in the semiconductor environment e.g. inventory control, scheduling, planning. financial control, work in process, simulation, etc. Modeling was done using the Rational Rose software analysis tool. A program in Java is written to validate the analysis.
