  1. ITRS 2001 Factory Integration Chapter Factory Information and Control Systems (FICS) Backup Section Details and Assumptions for Technology Requirements and Potential Solutions ITRS Factory Integration TWG

  2. Backup Outline • How Metrics were Selected • International Contributors • FICS Technology Requirements Table • Translating FICS Technology Requirements to Reality • Supporting Material for FICS Technology Requirements ITRS Factory Integration TWG

  3. How Metrics were selected • Almost every metric is a best in class or close to best in class • Sources are: Rob Leachman’s published 200mm benchmarking data, individual IC maker feedback, Trecenti/UMC 300mm joint venture published data, and I300I Factory Guidelines for 300mm tool productivity • It is likely a factory will not achieve all the metrics outlined in the roadmap concurrently • Individual business models will dictate which metric is more important than others • It is likely certain metrics may be sacrificed (periodically) for attaining other metrics (Example: OEE/Utilization versus Cycle time) • The Factory Integration metrics are not really tied to the technology nodes as in other chapters such as Lithography • However, nodes offer convenient interception points to bring in new capability, tools, software and other operational potential solutions • Inclusion of each metric is dependent on consensus agreement We think the metrics provide a good summary of stretch goals for most companies in today’s challenging environment.
