  • Method and apparatus to reconcile recipe manager and manufacturing execution system context configurations
    Patent number: 7280885
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing recipes in a semiconductor manufacturing process. Recipes and associated process contexts in a manufacturing execution system and corresponding recipes and associated contexts in a recipe management system are audited to identify discrepancies. The discrepancies are reconciled to ensure that compatible recipes and process contexts are maintained in the manufacturing execution system and the recipe management system. The audit and reconciliation process can be initiated automatically at predetermined time intervals or can be initiated interactively by a user of the manufacturing system.
