In order to support the volume production of advanced semiconductor devices in the 90-nm node, in addition to rapid startup, confirmation, and repairs of equipment at the device manufacturer's site, e-diagnostics is required to provide a broad range of support services, including preventative maintenance and process support. Specific results that can be expected are: (1) reduction in MTTR (mean time to repair), (2) increased operation rate, and (3) reduction in maintenance management costs.
