  • Semiconductor bullet lot dispatch systems and methods
    Patent number: 10325236
    Abstract: A semiconductor bullet lot dispatch system is provided. The semiconductor bullet lot dispatch system includes a plurality of lots having bullet lots and non-bullet lots, and a processing site having a plurality of load ports used to run the lots. The semiconductor bullet lot dispatch system also includes a bullet lot arriving time initial module configured to collect work flow information of the lots and calculate bullet lot arriving time intervals; and a port remaining time initial module configured to calculate port next available time intervals. Further, the semiconductor bullet lot dispatch system includes a future constraint check module configured to match the bullet lots with the load ports, and a bullet lot scenario engine module configured to calculate a total available lot count of each of available load ports and dispatch the bullet lots to the load ports.
