From a historical perspective, we will
initially examine how semiconductor
manufactures have used a number of
creative means to optimize and manage
their production equipment, control and
track production recipes, and prevent
serious and often costly excursions in
manufacturing. This current state-of-affair
will be expanded to provide a glimpse of
what the future may hold for assembly
equipment as well as semiconductor
manufacturers from a progressive and
evolutionary perspective. During the last 20 years, semiconductor and assembly manufactures have complemented or enhanced the capabilities of their production equipment by utilizing add-on computer systems commonly referred to as station/cell controllers.
