Abstract
An interface for a semiconductor fabrication facility which includes a real time dispatch system providing near real time information regarding processing of semiconductor wafers and a middleware component. The interface includes a work in progress application program interface coupled between the fabrication facility and the middleware component. The work in progress application program interface provides a common interface for communicating between the fabrication facility and the middleware component.
Claims24
An interface for a semiconductor fabrication facility including a real time dispatch system providing near real time information regarding processing of semiconductor wafers and a middleware component, the interface comprising:
- a work in progress application program interface coupled between the fabrication facility and the middleware component, the work in progress application program interface providing a common interface for communicating between the fabrication facility and the middleware component.
A method for interfacing between a fabrication facility and a middleware component comprising;
- providing a work in progress application program interface coupled between the fabrication facility and the middleware component, the work in progress application program interface providing a common interface for communicating between the fabrication facility and the middleware component;
- and
- publishing information from the fabrication facility to the middleware component via the work in progress application program interface;
- and,
- subscribing to information from the middleware component via the work in progress application program interface.
An computer readable media encoded with an application for providing an interface for a semiconductor fabrication facility including a real time dispatch system providing near real time information regarding processing of semiconductor wafers and a middleware component, the application comprising:
- a work in progress application program interface module coupled between the fabrication facility and the middleware component, the work in progress application program interface module providing a common interface for communicating between the fabrication facility and the middleware component.
