  • Method for manufacturing a semiconductor component and automatic machine program generator therefor
    Patent number: 5969972
    Abstract: An automated machine program generator (10) and a method for optimizing the manufacture of articles. The automated machine program generator (10) includes a data repository editor (11), a table parameter editor (13), and an optimizer editor (14). The data repository editor (11) collects data from various sources. The data is transformed and placed in a table (12). If necessary, the data in the table (12) is modified by the table parameter editor (13). The modified data is optimized by the optimizer editor (14) and transferred to a piece of equipment (15) for manufacturing the article.
