    摘要: Methods and systems for integrating manufacturing equipment with factory automation software. In one embodiment, an equipment integrator (EI) has a user interface to facilitate user input of configuration information to provide an adaptable interface between a manufacturing tool and a manufacturing execution system (MES) that is operable over a plurality of manufacturing tools. The user configurable interface of the EI is adaptable so that tool-independent MES data collection requests may be satisfied by tool-specific data publication through the EI. In a further embodiment, data collected by the EI from a particular manufacturing tool is mapped to the MES without tool-specific interface coding. During processing, the configurable EI may fill a request from the MES for manufacturing data by collecting a data from the manufacturing tool, identifying data based on the configuration information and returning data satisfying a data keying criterion defined in the MES.

    摘要: Systems, methods and mediums are provided for automating experiments within an automated environment without the need to disassociate the test subject (e.g., the semiconductor chip or chips) from that environment. An “experiment” may be a pre-planned deviation of an established (e.g., pre-defined) process utilizing the automated environment.A computer-implemented method, system and computer-readable medium for managing experiments, such as those relating to semiconductor technology. An experiment order includes some deviation from a base process capable of operating in an automated environment. An approval of the experiment order is obtained from a distribution list of users, while permitting the users to attach documents to the experiment order or perhaps modify the experiment. The experiment order is translated into processing data suitable for implementation by said automated environment, and stored. The experiment is caused to be executed in conjunction with at least some portion of said base process via the automated environment according to the processing data.

    摘要: A system, method and medium of sending messages in a distributed data processing network is described, and contemplates receiving a message that includes subject information that is generated based on one or more pre-selected portions as the message is generated. A message delivery system in a client-server environment is also described. The message delivery system includes a server configured to receive a message that includes subject information that is generated based on one or more pre-selected portions as the message is created and configured to forward the message based on the subject information.

    摘要: Generic interface adapter builder software generates an interface adapter to tie tools into a centralized manufacturing execution system. As contemplated by embodiments of the present invention, the interface adapter allows a tool in a semiconductor manufacturing assembly to communicate with other hardware and software in the centralized manufacturing execution system in accordance with a standard protocol and be operable from a common view graphical user interface. The generic interface builder software uses a classification of the type library and desired parameters for a particular tool to generate the interface adapter that maps the interface methods of the tool to the interface of the manufacturing execution system and handles long running service request support. In one aspect of the invention, the tool to be integrated into the manufacturing assembly may be a material control system. As contemplated by embodiments of the present invention, the material control system uses COM-based interface methods, and may optionally include a COM-based protocol converter, and may expose its interface methods via a type library.
