ABSTRACT

A program for discrete event simulation of a semiconductor wafer fab is presented, Thc program is designed to serve as a tool in the investigation of efficient fab shop floor scheduling disciplines. but can also be used to analyze issues such as fab layout design. capacity analysis, production forecasts, and fab start-up strategies. The semiconductor fab scheduling problem is presented and the job shop model used to represent the problem described. The C implementationof the model is discussed. Input and output of the model are described by presenting several test simulations. Future extensions to the model and research directions are proposed.
