Abstract:
1. A system for managing the production of semiconductor devices, the system comprising: a plurality of production devices to perform production processes for fabricating semiconductor devices; a plurality of in-line measuring devices to measure at least one process parameter of each production process performed by the production devices and to output the process parameter as measured data, wherein: a data storage device to store: (i) data which is indicative of the production processes performed by the production devices, (ii) the measured data or data representative thereof, (iii) specifications of the production processes that are associated with the measured data, (iv) data of the start of production of the semiconductor devices, (v) data of the scheduled date on which each production process is performed by the production devices, and (vi) data of the date of completion of each production process performed by the production devices.
