Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for managing process jobs in semiconductor fabrication, the method comprising: receiving a plurality of process jobs associated with one or more priorities of fabrication processing; ordering with a queue the plurality of process jobs in an order reflecting the one or more priorities of fabrication processing associated with the plurality of process jobs; executing a current process job selected from the plurality of process jobs in the queue based on the order reflecting the one or more priorities of fabrication processing; upon receiving, in real time, a new process job with a priority of fabrication processing higher than the one or more priorities of fabrication processing associated with the plurality of process jobs, modifying, in real time, the order reflecting the priorities of fabrication processing to place the new process job ahead of the plurality of process jobs in the queue; and executing the new process job upon completion of execution of the current process job based on the modified order.
