Patent ID: 7310563

Claim:
A fabricating method for a fabricating system including at least first and second processing apparatuses each being provided with at least a processing chamber and an interface for loading and unloading a plurality of semiconductor wafers contained in a carrier, an inter-apparatus transporter, and at least one computer storing managing information of processing and transporting of the semiconductor wafers comprising the steps of: processing a plurality of the semiconductor wafers contained in first carrier by the first processing apparatus with a predetermined process condition according to the managing information; and processing a plurality of the semiconductor wafers contained in second carrier by the second processing apparatus with a predetermined process condition according to the managing information; and starting to transport said first carrier containing the plurality of the semiconductor wafers having been processed and waiting for transportation in the first processing apparatus toward the second processing apparatus by the inter-apparatus transporter prior to unloading of the second carrier containing the semiconductor wafers processed in the second processing apparatus according to the managing information.
