Next-generation semiconductor factories need to support miniaturization below 100 nm and have higher production efficiency, mainly of 300-mm-diameter wafers. Particularly to reduce the price of semiconductor devices, shorten development time [thereby reducing the TAT (turn-around time)], and support frequent product changeovers, semiconductor manufacturers must enhance the productivity of their systems. To meet these requirements, Hitachi proposes solutions that will support e-manufacturing on the next-generation semiconductor production line.
