Abstract
Scheduling in semiconductor wafer fabrication is viewed important due to its effect on both proper utilization of expensive equipment and cycle time. The complex nature of manufacturing processes used in semiconductor manufacturing makes scheduling and other activities such as process and quality control more critical and more interdependent on each other. We investigate the interdependency, interaction, and potentially needed coordination between scheduling and advanced process control decisions. As a first step, we analyze the issue using simple models (single machine settings) both analytically and computationally, and draw insights for more complex and realistic situations.
