  • Patent number: 7613535
    Abstract: A semiconductor manufacturing system includes a centralized computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) system; a plurality of sectional CIM systems respectively associated with a plurality of manufacturing facilities and coupled with the centralized CIM system; and a centralized basic record module, coupled and coordinated with the centralized CIM system, and designed for defining a unified process flow associated to a mobile object.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 14, 2007
    Date of Patent: November 3, 2009
    Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.
    Inventors: Larry Jann, Chien-Fei Cheng, I. Chun Chen, Liang Po Hsiung
  • Patent number: 7533373
    Abstract: A method for prevention of system execution malfunction is provided. First, an IDL (Interface Definition Language) file is compiled using an IDL compiler to generate a compiled IDL file. The compiled IDL file is converted by defining additional operations corresponding to a specific operator in the compiled IDL file. When a program comprising the converted file is executed with the specific operator, the additional operations are performed before original operations thereof.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7158850
    Abstract: A semiconductor fabrication enterprise includes fabrication equipment, transportable containers for work—in—process and an enterprise information system. The transportable containers have associated radio frequency tags having identification codes uniquely identifying the carriers in the fabrication process. The enterprise information system contains data corresponding to each such identification code. The identification codes are read by a radio frequency interrogation device, and the radio frequency interrogation device carries out transactions with the enterprise data system to transfer the data corresponding to the identification codes to the radio frequency interrogation device. The radio frequency tags may be adapted for read/write functionality allowing for writing data to the radio frequency tags and synchronization of radio frequency tag data and enterprise information system data.

  • Patent number: 7142938
    Abstract: A manufacturing management system and method. The system includes a manufacturing execution system and a plurality of manufacturing sites coupled to the manufacturing execution system. The manufacturing execution system comprises management data to support the manufacturing sites. Each manufacturing site comprises a corresponding site attribute. At least one of the manufacturing sites receives a lot, queries the management data for the lot from the manufacturing execution system according to lot identification and the site attribute of the manufacturing site receiving the lot, and processes the lot accordingly.
