DRIFS - A Data Retrieval Interface for Integrated Circuit Fabrication Systems
Abstract
People who operate a factory need to access data from many aspects of the fabrication environment. Many IC fabrication facilities store manufacturing data in distributed, heterogeneous database networks, meaning that data exists in several dissimilar databases and computer systems. Retrieval and integration of data can be a cumbersome task due to this configuration. The ideal solution to these problems is to standardize a data model, storing the manufacturing data in a single database. However, since such a standardization is not likely to occur in the near future, a more immediate solution is needed. DRIFS(Data Retrieval Interface for Fabrication Systems) addresses the problems of integration and data retrieval by providing a standard query interface and data model for heterogeneous, distributed fabrication databases. The DRIFS prototype is described and illustrated in this thesis.
