Big data, data mining, data sharing, data transparency, the entire electronics industry is built on data. From device design to the fabs, equipment, and materials that turn design into finished products, the semiconductor industry creates and consumes vast quantities of data. Inside the fab and out, throughout the supply chain, the practice of data sharing through local or offline methods seems increasingly quaint and largely insufficient. The demand for detailed, on-demand, even real-time data is pushing further and further up the supply chain. This challenges suppliers to improve data acquisition and management systems as well as analyze and share data that was once thought to be the crown jewels of intellectual property. In this webinar, you will learn about:
- How the challenges for detailed, on-demand, even real-time data is being met in the fab and supply chain.
- The generation and use of data in fab equipment through the usage of intelligent controls
- Data requirements for advanced fab processing
- How these data requirements are being communicated and addressed up the supply chain.
