The Computer Device Laboratory (CDL) focuses on education and research on VLSI technologies, devices, and their related area.Education:
Research:The main objectives of the research in CDL are to develop new environment for VLSI design, diagnoses, and manufacturing. These will be an intelligent manufacturing of VLSIs including a statistical representation, a physical representation, and an expert system representation of the environments. The objects of representations are not restricted in the devices and physical technologies, but will cover from the manufacturing system modeling to the yield enhancement and reliability of VLSI. Currently, a new system to estimate resources for the semiconductor manufacturing has developed. The system has been used in the semiconductor companies for monthly planning of their human and machinery resources. In addition a novel dispatching algorithm for the mixed LSI production is developed. The mixed production is inevitable in the system LSI fabrication. The new dispatching algorithm, named pseudo periodical priority dispatching, is superior to FCFS in setup frequency, and in response time, and to SPT in tardiness. Therefore, the algorithm will be promising to reduce the cost in the future semiconductor manufacturing.Research Projects have been performed in CDL are as follows: |

| This paper describes a new dispatching algorithm for dynamic allocation of work-inprocess
(WIP), namely Pseudo Periodical Priority Dispatching (P3D). The algorithm is
developed to manage a processing station in an autonomous distributed manufacturing
system. The priority of dispatching is examined when each quantum start, by considering
both the amount of WIP in the input buffer of processing station and the arrival rate of
WIP. P3D achieves very fair dispatching even though the arrival rate differs by 40 times
among mixed WIPs. The author concludes that P3D is a robust dispatching algorithm
for manufacturing a broad mix of VLSI products. |
