Abstract:
1. A recipe cluster management system comprising: a material execute system having a recipe cluster management engine in operative communication with the material execute system; a specification database in operative communication with the material execute system for storing predefined recipe clusters, wherein each recipe cluster has at least one associated recipe parameter and a specified location; a run time floor database, the run time floor database in operative communication with a real time dispatching system for sequencing processing of orders according to a predefined schedule, wherein the real time dispatching system is in further operative communication with the material execute system; at least one piece of fabrication equipment, wherein the at least one piece of fabrication equipment is in operative communication with the material execute system and wherein the at least one piece of fabrication equipment has an operator interface that allows an operator to monitor only candidate lots provided to the at least one piece of fabrication equipment by the RTD system, and to track the candidate lots into the at least one piece of fabrication equipment according to a predefined schedule; and an associated graphical user interface for assigning recipe clusters to associated chambers within the at least one piece of fabrication equipment wherein said associated graphical user interface comprises:
