Semiconductor manufacturing (SM) system is one of the most complicated hybrid processes involved continuously variable dynamical systems and discrete event dynamical systems.The optimization and scheduling of semiconductor fabrication has long been a hot research direction in automation.Bottleneck is the key factor to a SM system
which seriously influences the throughput rate
cycle time
time-delivery rate
etc
.Efficient prediction for the bottleneck of a SM system provides the best support for the consequent scheduling.Because categorical data (product types
releasing strategies) and numerical data (work in process
processing time
utilization rate
buffer length
etc
.) have significant effect on bottleneck
an improved adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was adopted in this study to predict bottleneck since conventional neural network-based methods accommodate only numerical inputs.In this improved ANFIS
the contribution of categorical inputs to firing strength is reflected through a transformation matrix.In order to tackle high-dimensional inputs
reduce the number of fuzzy rules and obtain high prediction accuracy
a fuzzy c-means method combining binary tree linear division method was applied to identify the initial structure of fuzzy inference system.According to the experimental results
the main-bottleneck and sub-bottleneck of SM system can be predicted accurately with the proposed method.
