Abstract

For wafer fabrication, a process module (PM) in cluster tools is prone to failure. It is crucial to deal with such failure in a proper and timely manner. With residency time constraints, if there are feasible periodic schedules in operating a cluster tool before and after a PM failure, it is desired to make it operate continuously when such a failure occurs. A Petri net model is developed to describe the dynamic behavior of a single-arm cluster tool and failure response policies are proposed to deal with a failure. The proposed policies are formulated via simple control laws for their real-time and on-line implementation. An example is presented to show their application.
