This thesis examines the current views surrounding federal support of the semiconductor industry, specifically from the Department of Defense. 'National security' is often cited as a reason for federal intervention in the industry. How well founded are the arguments for this support? The current situation in the domestic semiconductor industry is examined, and the industry's explanations for recent changes in market position are identified. Prevailing economic theory is reviewed for possible alternative explanations. Industry views are then examined in light of this economic theory, and appropriate federal actions are recommended. Since these recommendations focus on the macroeconomic forces influencing the balance of trade, they will benefit the semiconductor industry and the economy as a whole.

Abstract:
This study aims to explore the agility development from strategic perspectives in the Malaysian and Singaporean semiconductor industries. Firstly, it assesses the needs of agility in the region semiconductor industry. Secondly, it explores informal practices that are associated with agility could bring alternative competitive success; and finally, it argues that the systematic development of agility through formulation, implementation and evaluation could bring competitive advantage to Malaysian and Singaporean semiconductor industries. Using mixed-method research method, this study provided a grounded and exploratory approach, where 101 questionnaires and 4 case companies were used as empirical data which collected in Malaysia and Singapore between Jan 2004 to March 2004. SPSS was used to analyse descriptive and inferential quantitative data from survey questionnaires, while cross-case analysis was carried out to analyse qualitative data in four case companies. Using data integration, this study revealed ten major findings. It concludes that agility is a multi-dimensional approach that encompasses a wide variety of best practices and agility should be built on the foundation of world class manufacturing methods, coupled with an organisation that is technologically and managerially established for rapid and unpredictable change. This study also concludes that informal practices associated with agility need to be embodied in an organisation that attempts to develop agility. Finally, the development of agility does not happen overnight, as it requires a change agent or company-wide transformation to take place in order to develop agility properly. This study identifies the major needs for developing agility strategy in the Malaysian and Singaporean semiconductor industries. A conceptual and systematic framework for developing agility was proposed through strategic formulation, implementation and evaluation that provided valuable evidence to create new strands of agility theory development in other industry within the region, especially those newly industrialised counties. These contributions enable academic researchers to expand the topic into longitude empirical studies and discuss the topic insightfully.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis proposes a computationally effective analytical approach to automated material handling system (AMHS) performance modeling for a simple closed loop AMHS, such as is typical in supporting a 300mm wafer fab bay. Discrete-event simulation can produce accurate assessments of the production performance, including the contribution by the AMHS. However, the corresponding simulation models are both expensive and time-consuming to construct, and require long execution times to produce statistically valid estimates. These attributes render simulation ineffective as a decision support tool in the early phase of system design, where requirements and configurations are likely to change often. We propose an alternative model that estimates the AMHS performance considering the possibility of vehicle-blocking. A probabilistic model is developed, based on a detailed description of AMHS operations, and the system is analyzed as an extended Markov chain. The model tracks the operations of all the vehicles on the closed-loop considering the possibility of vehicle-blocking. The resulting large-scale model provided reasonably accurate performance estimates; however, it presented some computational challenges. These computational challenges motivated the development of a second model that also analyzes the system as an extended Markov chain but with a much reduced state space because the model tracks the movement of a single vehicle in the system with additional assumptions on vehicle-blocking. Neither model is a conventional Markov Chain because they combine the conventional Markov Chain analysis of the AMHS operations with additional constraints on AMHS stability and vehicle-blocking that are necessary to provide a unique solution to the steady-state behavior of the AMHS. Based on the throughput capacity model, an approach is developed to approximate the expected response time of the AMHS to move requests. The expected response times are important to measure the performance of the AMHS and for estimating the required queue capacity at each pick-up station. The derivation is not straightforward and especially complicated for multi-vehicle systems. The approximation relies on the assumption that the response time is a function of the distribution of the vehicles along the tracks and the expected length of the path from every possible location to the move request location.

Microelectronic devices traditionally were manufactured by companies that both designed and produced integrated chips. This process was important in 1970's and 1980's when the manufacturing processes required tweaking the design, understanding of the manufacturing processes and occasional need to redesign. As manufacturing techniques and standards evolved, companies have changed their business model and have started to outsource their manufacturing to merchant foundries. Semiconductor companies have also started to outsource the design and verification of their chips to third party design service companies and focus on core competence like research and development of new technologies and defining protocols. This trend has evolved even though the chips have become much more complex, hard to design and hard to manufacture. This thesis studies the different players in the supply chain, how each player has evolved and the challenges companies face in making decisions regarding outsourcing internal processes. It was found that the advancements in the downstream industries such as EDA, Design Suppliers and EMS have helped fabless companies remain competitive with IDM's (Integrated Device Manufacturers). The fabless companies compete in different markets that do not need the most advanced processing technologies used by leading-edge companies.

The semiconductor industry is an exciting and challenging industry. Strong demand at the application end, plus the high capital intensity and rapid technological innovation in manufacturing, makes it difficult to manage supply chain planning and investment in technology transitions. Better understanding the essence of the industry dynamics will help firms win competitive advantages in this turbulent market. In this thesis, we will study semiconductor industry dynamics from three different angles: quantitative modeling, industry dynamics simulation, and strategic analysis. First, we develop a stochastic linear optimization model to address the supplier's "order fulfillment dilemma" suggested by previous empirical studies. The model provides optimal equipment production decisions that minimize the total cost under stochastic demand. To solve the large scale problem, we introduce the Bender's Decomposition, which is proven to outperform the pure Simplex method. Furthermore, we extend the basic model to multiple periods, allowing equipment inventory planning over a period of time. Second, we build a macro-level industry dynamic model using the methodology of System Dynamics. The model includes components of electronics demand projection, fabrication capacity allocation, fabrication cost structure, technology roadmapping as well as equipment production and R&D. The model generates projections of demand , industry productivity, schedule of building new fabrication, adoption of the latest process technology, etc., which are validated by actual industry data. In addition, we devise a control panel in the software that enables the users to implement flexible scenario and sensitivity analysis. Third, we propose a strategic framework for companies to pinpoint the root causes of the supply-demand mismatch problem.
(cont.) This framework considers long lead times, fast clockspeeds, Moore's Law, and risky product and technology, which transitions contribute to the pronounced volatility amplification occurring in the semiconductor industry. This framework, along with several industry successful practices, will assist companies to mitigate the demand volatility and improve their supply chain performance.

Abstract:
One of the biggest challenges for the semiconductor industry is the development of nanofabrication techniques that allow for the fabrication of structures on a scale tens of nanometers in size. This provides greater potential functionality at reduced costs. Established conventional techniques, such as photolithography, are unable to achieve features below 30 nm due to the inherent limitations of the wavelength of light sources currently available. For this reason block copolymers received considerable attention in order to overcome these challenges in lithographic technology. Block copolymers have an inherent processing advantage of self assembling into various nanoscopic structures such as spheres, cylinders and lamellae amongst others on a scale below 50 nm. The dimensions and structures are readily tuneable based on molecular weights (Mw) and compositions of the copolymers. However, to be usable within industry a great deal more research still needs to be conducted on the use and nature of block copolymers. In this study the block copolymer of poly(styrene-block-methylmethacrylate) (PS-b-PMMA) was investigated as a potential nano-mask for semiconductor growth. Research was conducted on thin films of PS-b-PMMA by altering the parameters influencing the kinetics and thermodynamic effects on the thin films, in order to produce a structure of cylinders of PMMA perpendicular to the substrate within a PS matrix on a silicon (Si) substrate. It is shown that thermally annealing the PS-b-PMMA thin films under conditions where there is no preferential interaction of the substrate or open surface with either components of the block copolymer (i.e. PS or PMMA with Si or ambient) and at an appropriate thin film thickness, perpendicular cylinders of PMMA within a PS matrix form in the thin films. The determined ideal thin film thickness is 32 nm, with non-preferential interaction attained between block and substrate by coating a poly(styrene-random-methylmethacrylate) (PS-r-PMMA) on the Si substrate and annealing within a vacuum. Additionally, acetic acid, as a known selective solvent of PMMA, is used to further process the thin film of PS-b-PMMA. Thus a final PS nano-mask containing pores with a diameter tens of nanometers in size is produced. The pores are shown to have an average diameter of 13.5 nm. Measurements were taken throughout the investigation using a scanning probe microscope (SPM) to determine surface topography and phase morphology of the PS-b-PMMA thin films. X-ray reflectometry (XRR) is used to measure film thickness. The research in this study shows that thin films of PS containing hexagonally arranged pores can be produced and could find potential use as a nano-mask for semiconductor growth.

While the pace of technical innovation in the semiconductor industry continues to accelerate, business processes and supply chain techniques have not kept up. Microprocessor performance improvement continues to follow Moore's Law, but increased variability has complicated efforts to accurately forecast demand and set inventory targets. Products are becoming more complex, often containing assemblies of multiple parts. Lifecycles are becoming shorter; made possible by technology breakthroughs and efficient manufacturing ramp-ups. Demand and supply are ever more stochastic and non-stationary. Inventory is one of the few ways that a firm can buffer themselves from the inherent and increasing variability, while still meeting required service levels. We explore the sources of the variability in the semiconductor supply chain. On the supply side, we evaluate variability in throughput time, yield and other factors not explicitly considered in standard models. Here, we primarily focus on the natural stochasticity of the manufacturing process and disregard the variability arising from forecasting of these supply parameters. For demand, the natural stochastic process is not well understood, so we evaluate the forecast error and use it as a proxy for demand variability. We then apply these data to the base-stock model - constrained by its associated assumptions - to calculate inventory targets required to meet a certain level of service. Using a two-node base-stock model in conjunction with the actual variability data, we develop inventory estimates across the network and evaluate tradeoffs between different inventory strategies. We then determine what each variability parameter contributes to inventory. The combination of a simple yet representative
(cont.) model of the semiconductor supply chain with actual data from the variability characterization provides the tools to make powerful recommendations to reduce variability and decrease inventories throughout the supply network.

Looking ahead the global semiconductor factory to focus on the Microelectronics process, the key processes and factory integration optimization, to provide semiconductor factory customers in the process environment. At the ever-changing technology, continuous improvement of the industry and the support of policies, China has actively developed the localization of the semiconductor industry, further driving the rapid growth of IC output value and gradually forming a competitive situation with Taiwan. Therefore, prospect to the future, in order to improve the level of China's semiconductor industry, it is necessary to actively invest resources and funds to strengthen its process equipment. In order to enhance their competitiveness, wafer manufacturers in the semiconductor manufacturing industry are now introducing the concept and connotation of Industry 4.0 into the semiconductor process, in order to achieve a higher level of process performance, thereby helping to cre-ate a smart factory to achieve semiconductor smart manufacturing. Vision, driving a more efficient manufacturing process. This research has three research purposes: First, Has the intelligent transport system improved the competitive advantage of the semiconductor front-end factory? Second, through expert interviews, the importance of each key success factor and the implementation strategy factors is gradually analyzed to find the competitive advantage of the semiconductor front-end process equipment in the industry. Third, based on the key competitive advantages obtained from the research results, the decision-making factors are combined, and the development strategy is developed to provide reference for the decision making of relevant institutions such as the semiconductor industry and government departments. The preliminary research methods are conducted by means of expert questionnaires. The design of the questionnaire interviews will be designed with reference to previous research, and the content of domestic and international cases and professional reports will be collated for the most backward comparison. The questionnaire is expected to be completed and issued in mid-2019. Our research shows the intelligent logistic system is not only a description of products or services but also a representative meaning of the technological development in this generation. It shows the value of different levels of competitive advantage of enterprise all because the discussion of the intelligent logistic system has different depths and breadths. Meanwhile, the connection between the intelligent logistic system and business competitive advantage demonstrate the significant influence, which brought us a new research topic. At last, We provide the industry as a research reference according to the results and recommendations of this study.

Abstract:
This dissertation is composed of three major parts, each studying a problem related to semiconductor manufacturing. The first part of the dissertation proposes a high-level scheduling model that serves as an intermediate stage between planning and detailed scheduling in the usual planning hierarchy. The high-level scheduling model explicitly controls the WIP over time in the system and provides a more specific guide to detailed scheduling. WIP control is used to balance the WIP (Work In Process) level and to keep the bottleneck station busy to maintain a high throughput rate. A mini-fab simulation model is used to evaluate the benefits of different approaches to implementing such a high-level scheduling model, and to compare different WIP control policies. Extensive numerical studies show that the proposed approaches can achieve much shorter cycle times than the traditional planning-scheduling approach, with only a small increase in inventory and backorder costs. With increasing worldwide competition, high technology product manufacturing companies have to pay great attention to lower their production costs and guarantee high quality at the same time. Advanced process control (APC) is widely used in semiconductor manufacturing to adjust machine parameters so as to achieve satisfactory product quality. The interaction between scheduling and APC motivates the second part of this dissertation. First, a single-machine makespan problem with APC constraints is proved to be NPcomplete. For some special cases, an optimal solution is obtained analytically. In more general cases, the structure of optimal solutions is explored. An efficient heuristic algorithm based on these structural results is proposed and compared to an integer programming approach. Another important issue in manufacturing system is maintenance, which affects cycle time and yield management. Although there is extensive literature regarding maintenance policies, the analysis in most papers is restricted to conventional preventive maintenance (PM) policies, i.e., calendar-based or jobbased PM policies. With the rapid development of new technology, predictive maintenance has become more feasible, and has attracted more and more attention from semiconductor manufacturing companies in recent years. Thus, the third problem considered in this dissertation is predictive maintenance in an M/G/1 queueing environment. One-recipe and two-recipe problems are studied through semi-Markov decision processes (SMDP), and structural properties are obtained. Discounted SMDP problems are solved by linear programming and expected machine availabilities are calculated to evaluate different PM policies. The optimal policy can maintain a high machine availability with low long-run cost. The structures of the optimal PM policies show that it is necessary to consider multiple recipes explicitly in predictive maintenance models.

The semiconductor industry has become one of Taiwans key industries since the Taiwanese government promoted a "Two Trillion and Twin Star Development Program" in 2002. From upstream to downstream, the semiconductor industry is broadly divided into three sectors:IC design, IC manufacturing, and IC packaging and testing. The research focuses on explore whether Taiwan IC industries still maintain leading advantage in technology. The semiconductor industry is capital intensive and highly competitive, this research utilizes data envelopment analysis to investigate several business indicators and the relative efficiency of 10 IC design companies、7 IC manufacturing companies and 11 IC packaging and testing companies. Based on the comparisons among companies in the three IC industries, respectively, this research utilizes SBM DEA model compared with CCR DEA, to realize the different result between CCR model and SBM model, this is because of SBM DEA model takes non-radial slack into account. In the end, the research utilizes relative efficiency to effort these companies to implementing the possible improvement plans, allocating resources properly, and assessing the companys performance for each decision making unit.

Because technology of the standard and quality in the Taiwan semiconductor testing industry is the prevailing in the world, this is a fact that the whole world is obvious to all. Simultaneously, the most of information system had been upload their testing data automatically in most of semiconductor testing industry. But some tasks still need manual establishment in system regulation, inventory and supply chain management. It was not only wastes the massive human affairs cost and the efficiency was low. Moreover, the human error occurrence probability also greatly was the enhancement. Therefore the information instantaneity demand waits for strengthens. The research paper propose a RFID immediate management information system that integrated three common areas in semiconductor testing industry including inventory flows management, location control in warehouse and handcar localization. The main core of this research was focus on cassette management in semiconductor test industry. The entire management flow enters the warehouse management from a semiconductor manufacturing company to the semiconductor testing company. Based on RFID readers, tags and RFID middleware. Label information where located on each cassette will be passed to the backend information system. Through RFID technology characteristic presents immediately the RFID label information for the user to achieve tracing purpose. This research result unifies RFID and the semiconductor testing system to establishes a set of immediate information management system. Penetrates RFID technology and flows integration will reduce the standard warehouse working-hour and more efficiency in production line. Even spends the time regarding the system regulation whole to be allowed precisely to hold controls. The enterprise save the more manpower cost and information transmission will be more transparent in customers and suppliers.

Abstract Semiconductor industry speed up its horizontal disintegrated structure,after Taiwan’s semiconductor foundry business model enter the supply chain. In the mean time , the whole semiconductor industry supply chain become mature after over twenty years evolution and development. It also accelerated the clock speed of whole semiconductor industry and forced the industry have to face the challenge of technology barrier. It is why more Moore and extended CMOS technology development strategy have been proposed in the semiconductor development roadmap during recent years. There are two main focuses : Beyond CMOS and More Than Moore. More than Moore is trying to implement existing materials and equipments with additional devices for more application area like power devices, sensors…. Beyond CMOS is to implement more materials or processes to enhance the device performance with existing process technology or speed up the process development to match Moore’s Law requirement. In this research, we will demonstrate double helix theory of semiconductor industry’s vertical Integrate structure and horizontal disintegrated structure driving forces for Beyond CMOS and More Than Moore industry development focuses, to highlight the critical parameters we have found and try to predict the trend of the future. For beyond CMOS , the vertical integrated structure is becoming the major trend of the industry. Foundry company become stronger and dominate the capital investment and technology owner to integrate from EDA, SIP, technology, mask, manufacture and assembly/testing as virtual fab. for IDM or Fabless company. In the history of semiconductor industry in Taiwan, there is a failure starting point of DRAM semiconductor industry, it is started with a IDM model. It needs heavy human an capital resources investment and also the leading competitive technology, results in difficult business decision to continue the investment or not. On the other hand, semiconductor wafer foundry business model become a successful model. It is a typical double helix evolution of semiconductor industry, foundry company break into the supply chain base on manufacture strength of Taiwan industry and become a leader of semiconductor manufacturing and also the semiconductor technology field. Once the leading area becomes a leading edge of whole industry, it turn out to a driving force for this leader to broaden his area to vertical integration. It is a unique business model as virtual IDM that grapes business opportunities from different products and application to leverage the up and down turn of the market and among competitors. For more than Moore trend, major products are analog process, design, EDA, SIP and process technology are application and user specific , customized in this field. But through IDM release and join development technology to/with foundry is accelerating the horizontal disintegrate of the structure. In the mean time leading fabless companies are also speed up their acquisitions with analog design house to join this battle field, it also indicate that more than Moore semiconductor industry field will have a quick horizontal disintegrate moving forward. For more than Moore’s semiconductor industry, it have 10 year’s technology lag to follow Moor’s Law evolution track, lots of EDA, IP and back end package, testing … technology are booming up to be worthy for focusing on the business development and for sure the clock speed is faster than Moore’s Law before.

This thesis reports on a strategic analysis of the development of Israeli semiconductor industry. A Policy model is used to assess the strategic positioning entailing a 2-dimensional analysis, containing locus of industrial leadership (vertical axis) and policy objective (horizontal).By this way, we could find in different segmentation there will have different Industrial Innovation Requirements. Finally, we could get different strategies for different parts. Evaluating the Industrial Innovation Requirements and Policy Tools leads to a conclusion that for Israeli IDM the most critical categories of policy instruments are science and technology development, policy measures, regulation and control. For Israeli fabless the most critical categories of policy instruments are science and technology development, policy measures, regulation and control. For Israeli foundry the most critical categories of policy instruments are policy measures, science and technology development, public utilities, regulation and control. The corresponding policy instruments in support of developing IIRs are provided in the conclusion of this thesis.
