CP-Based Lot Scheduling Solutions For a Semiconductor Manufacturing (Infineon, U. of Klagenfurt)


A new technical paper, "Quantifying the Global Impact of Constraint Programming Based Local Scheduling in Semiconductor Manufacturing," was published by Infineon and the University of Klagenfurt. Abstract "The efficiency of semiconductor frontend manufacturing highly depends on the optimization of resource allocation. In academic works, scheduling methods, i.e., based on Constraint Progra... » read more

Using ML For Improved Fab Scheduling


Expanding fab capacity is slow and expensive even under ideal circumstances. It has been still more difficult in recent years, as pandemic-related shortages have strained equipment supply chains. When integrated circuit demand rises faster than expansions can fill the gap, fabs try to find “hidden” capacity through improved operations. They hope that more efficient workflows will allow e... » read more
