Dispatching

Term · Semiconductors · MLC-T-SEM-000373

The real-time allocation and routing of wafer lots to available processing equipment within a semiconductor fabrication plant. This dynamic decision-making process considers factors such as tool status, lot priority, processing recipes, and overall factory goals to determine the next operational step for each lot. Dispatching rules, which are algorithms embedded in the Manufacturing Execution System (MES), guide these decisions to manage production flow and minimize idle time.
