AUTOMATED OCAP INTERFACING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18088269 titled 'AUTOMATED OCAP INTERFACING SYSTEM AND METHOD
The patent application describes an IC manufacturing system with a unique communication interface and protocol capability, along with a capture engine on the computer platform of the manufacturing tool to monitor operator interactions for an automated electronic out-of-control action plan (eOCAP) scheme.
- The manufacturing system includes a manufacturing tool with a non-standard communication interface and protocol capability.
- A capture engine on the computer platform of the manufacturing tool monitors operator interactions.
- The capture engine facilitates an automated electronic out-of-control action plan (eOCAP) scheme.
- The eOCAP scheme is used in conjunction with a network-hosted server platform.
- The system aims to improve efficiency and quality control in IC manufacturing processes.
Potential Applications: - Semiconductor manufacturing - Electronics production - Quality control in manufacturing processes
Problems Solved: - Streamlining IC manufacturing processes - Enhancing quality control measures - Automating out-of-control action plans
Benefits: - Improved efficiency in manufacturing - Enhanced quality control - Automated response to out-of-control situations
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced IC Manufacturing System for Improved Quality Control This technology can be used in semiconductor manufacturing facilities to optimize production processes, improve quality control measures, and automate responses to out-of-control situations. The market implications include increased efficiency, reduced downtime, and enhanced product quality.
Questions about IC Manufacturing System: 1. How does the capture engine monitor operator interactions in the manufacturing tool? The capture engine on the computer platform of the manufacturing tool is configured to track and analyze operator interactions, such as input commands, adjustments, and settings, to detect any deviations from standard procedures.
