Modeling and simulation of a complete semiconductor manufacturing facility using Petri nets
نویسنده
چکیده
Most studies employing Petri nets in semiconductor manufacturing model only one specific area (e.g. etching) in detail, and model the rest of the manufacturing process e.g. by abstract inpuVoutput behaviour. In our study, we show the feasibility of using Petri nets for modeling the complete production process. We use the first set of test data provided by the MASMLAB, Arizona State University. It is a process of a twoproduct system making non-volatile memory chips. For modeling, we use our own tool PSim, which is based on a combined queueing and Petri net formalism. The integration of queues makes the modeling of parts waiting in front of a machine quite concise and intuitive. PSim offers a hierarchical and modular modeling approach, which is especially feasible for large and complex systems. We use the modular approach by once defining the structure of a machine as Petri net and then instantiating as many machines as needed. Then we model the operators, resources and the movement of parts between the machines as specified in the production plan. As result we can state, that Petri nets are feasible for modeling a complete semiconductor manufacturing process.

Modeling of Continuous Systems Using Modified Petri Nets
Due to the changes which may occur in their parameters, systems are usually demonstrated by some subsystems for different conditions. This paper employs Modified Petri Nets (MPN) to model theses subsystems and makes it simple to analyze them. In this method, first, the continuous transfer function is converted to a discrete transfer function and then, by MPN, system is modeled and analyzed. All...
