Abstract :
Run-to-run control (R2R) is adopted in semi-conductor manufacturing industries nowadays. Exponent weighted moving average (EWMA) is an important R2R algorithm. Discount factor is major parameter of EWMA controller. Semi-conductor manufacturing process research is generally dealing with single product. However, practically there are high mixed products processed at one tool. In this work, high-mix of mixed product in practical manufacturing process is considered in the model, product-based method is used, and EWMA control algorithm with variable discount factor is adopted. Its feasibility is proved by simulation results of the practical process.
