Scheduling Single-Arm Cluster Tools With an Equipment Front-End Module Subject to Wafer Residency Time Constraints

Semiconductor manufacturing widely employs cluster tools that comprise three critical components: a vacuum module (VM), a loadlock module (LLM), and an equipment front-end module (EFEM). In operating such tools, LLM plays a pivotal role. Additionally, wafer fabrication in VM faces strict wafer resid...
