PREDICTIVE WAFER SCHEDULING FOR MULTI-CHAMBER SEMICONDUCTOR EQUIPMENT

Abstract:

Disclosed herein is technology for performing a simulation based optimization to identify a schedule for a manufacturing tool. An example method may include determining, by a processing device, resources of a manufacturing tool, wherein the resources comprise a first chamber and a second chamber; accessing task data indicating a first manufacturing task and a second manufacturing task; determining a duration to perform the first manufacturing task using the first chamber and a duration to perform the second manufacturing task using the second chamber; updating a machine learning model based on the duration to perform the first manufacturing task and the duration to perform the second manufacturing task; performing a set of computer simulations that uses the machine learning model and the task data to produce a set of simulation results; storing, by the processing device, a simulation result of the set of simulation results in a data store.
