Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes the steps of: forming a first inter-metal dielectric (IMD) layer on a substrate; forming a contact hole in the first IMD layer; forming a bottom electrode layer in the contact hole; forming a magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) stack on the bottom electrode layer; and removing the MTJ stack and the bottom electrode layer to form a MTJ on a bottom electrode. Preferably, the bottom electrode protrudes above a top surface of the first IMD layer.

Abstract: A system and method for balancing production capacity between different production technologies. The system includes at least an order management module, a reservation module and a capacity management module. The order management module receives a first order, and generates a dummy order corresponding to the first order. The reservation module reserves a first capacity of a first production technology for the first order and a second capacity of a second production technology for the dummy order. The capacity management module cancels the first order and directs the dummy order to substitute the first order if a second order requesting the first production technology is received, and releases the first capacity to fulfill the second order.

Abstract: A system for exception management. The system comprises an input/output mechanism, a back-end server, and a management server. The input/output mechanism is configured to interface with a user and receive a requirement to suspend a progressing production. The back-end server provides online service according to the requirement. The management server estimates the impact of the required suspension on the production progress according to the requirement and a preset schedule of the production run.

Abstract: A customer-orientated manufacturing planning and controlling system. An order management module is programmed to receive an order for a product and reserve a capacity for the order based on a capacity model that considers a plurality of capacity vectors in a production system. A plan engine generates a fixed production schedule for the order based on the capacity model. A priority management engine provides a priority for the order. A production schedule monitor and evaluation module determines whether the order in process conforms to the fixed production schedule by statistical process control (SPC) and whether to adjust the fixed production schedule and to adjust the priority based on a dynamic achievement model of historical fixed production schedules, based on historical production information in a production database storing production information of the production system.

Abstract: In a foundry that produces a product family a system and method of reserving capacity for a pre-process order includes a plurality of products, a common pre-process operation and a plurality of distinct post-process operations corresponding to the products. When a pre-process order related to the pre-process operation from a customer is received, pre-process capacity and post-process operating capacity are reserved according to the pre-process order, and the pre-process capacity is provided for the pre-process. When a post-process order for a product corresponding to a specific post-process operation in the product family is received before a cutoff date, the reserved post-process operating capacity is provided for the corresponding post-process operation. If no post-process order is received before the cutoff date, the reserved post-process operating capacity is released as remnant supply. Other systems and methods are also provided.
