晶圆驻留时间约束下双组合设备协同调度

Cooperative Scheduling of Twin-cluster Tools with Wafer Residence Time Constraints

  • 摘要: 在半导体晶圆制造中,违反驻留时间约束会导致晶圆损坏,同时,双组合设备涉及两个设备间的资源协调配合,使得调度更加复杂。本文考虑晶圆驻留时间约束,研究了配置全并行加工模块的双组合设备的稳态协同调度问题。首先,构建面向资源的Petri网模型,描述了具有驻留时间约束和全并行加工模块的双组合设备的稳态加工过程,提出控制策略防止系统发生死锁;其次,通过分析加工模块的负载和机械手的任务过程,得到了机械手无任务冲突的条件;针对任务冲突的情况,推导出系统的可调度条件,并开发了两个算法求解系统的稳态周期时间和可行的机械手调度方案;最后,通过实例来验证算法的可行性与有效性。

     

    Abstract: In semiconductor wafer fabrication, adhering to residency time constraints is crucial to prevent damage to the wafers. Moreover, the use of twin-cluster tools adds complexity to the scheduling process owing to the need for resource coordination between two units. We investigate a steady-state cycle scheduling challenge of twin-cluster tools equipped with a complete concurrent processing module, particularly for wafer residence time constraints. Initially, a resource-oriented Petri net model is developed to elucidate the operation of twin-cluster tools under steady-state conditions by integrating wafer residency time constraints with a complete concurrent processing module. Afterward, a control strategy is introduced to prevent system deadlock. Subsequently, the conditions without robot task interference are determined by analyzing the workload of the processing module and robot tasks. In scenarios with robot task interference, schedulable conditions for the twin-cluster tool system are derived, and two algorithms are developed to calculate the steady state cycle time of the system and the robot schedule. Finally, these findings confirm the feasibility and effectiveness of the algorithms.
