Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of controlling re-entrant semiconductor fabrication lines. To focus the presentation, a virtual five-machine six-step mini-fab is used. This mini-fab - developed by Intel in collaboration with ASU - is intended to contain all of the features which make a real line difficult to control. Industry-like policies are discussed and compared with control-theoretic hierarchical policies.
