Abstract :
This paper analyzes 300-mm manufacturing inefficiencies that need to be addressed to improve productivity in the next-generation factory, classifies them into seven general themes, quantifies their business impacts, and identifies specific improvements needed for each as the basis for collaboration between integrated device manufacturers and equipment vendors to address the issues.
