Queueing Network Analysis of Semiconductor Manufacturing Plants
We show how the performance bounds can be used to design wafer fabs. Specifically, one may formulate the problem as one of maximizing the performance subject to a capital cost constraint. Software has been developed both for performance bounds (called BoundFab) and for design (called DesignFab).
