FULLY AUTOMATED MANUFACTURING

Today's 300mm facilities are the most advanced wafer processing fabs ever built. The increase in wafer size brought with it a move toward a fully automated line. While that shift has brought clear benefits, it has also created new challenges. Management teams must balance high-volume manufacturing with cutting-edge process technology. 300mm veterans quickly learned that removing operators from the equation does not simplify things. Managing the interplay between automation systems and the people who oversee them is anything but straightforward.

​

Line automation, control systems, and dispatching mechanisms are the setting limit for fab performance. Given that, the utilization of manufacturing tools, the optimization of Automated Material Handling Systems, Real Time Dispatching, and all fab resources is critical for meeting demands, achieving maximum capacity, and reducing cycle time to assure on time delivery.​

​

MAX's operations experts are the only independent source of 300mm knowledge derived from both the fab design process and real-world 300mm manufacturing experience. From tool selection and optimal configuration to Real Time Dispatching logic and coding, our team drives fab-wide performance improvement at every stage.

​

Owning a 300mm Fab and staying profitable means you must have your bottleneck tools running at well above 90% Equipment Effectiveness consistently. MAX's team can get your fab to this level of performance.
