LOT

A lot is a group of units that process together. Usually lot_id or lot_number in MES. All units in a lot are in the same carrier but there may be multiple lots in a carrier. (* inherited from FPSINPUT.WIP_LOTS_STATIC)

IS_HIST

IS_CURR

Boolean flag where Y indicates this row is for the current main route or product. Same as flush_seq_num = 1. (* inherited from FPSBASE.WIP_FLUSH)

IS_FUTURE

This should be set to Y if the state does not apply immediately. Production runoff and alarms are two examples where we do not want to set this state in ETP until the tool misses the cascade and starts to lose productivity. (* inherited from FPSINPUT.EQP_L5_TRANSITION_STATES)

IS_NEXT_STEP

FACILITY

Facility is included in almost every join in the DWH so this represents a definitive split. A route must have all steps on tools in the same facility. A tool must process all lots in the same facility. If your site has multiple buildings where lots run on routes using tools in multiple buildings then everything should be one facility. For example, multiple Fab buildings. But if your site has independent facilities like Fab and Test and Assembly where lot may progress from one to the next but on different routes then these should be different facilities. Since this column is in virtually every table it is critical that the value here is exactly matches what is in the MES if the MES has facility. Use facility_display for the display friendly name displayed in applications. See site_name comment for client/site/facility example. (* inherited from FPSINPUT.GEN_FACILITIES)

ROUTE

Route that has threading requirements (* inherited from FPSINPUT.RTG_STEP_THREADING)

STEP

A single processing step within a route representing a single tool visit. Step is often a very complex string and should rarely be displayed. Instead we should use process_display. (* inherited from FPSINPUT.RTG_ROUTE_STEPS)

SEQ_NUM

Sequence number of step in route (* inherited from FPSINPUT.RTG_ROUTE_STEPS)

PROCESS

Process defines what occurs at a step. Different steps can share the same process if they are identical. Process should normally determine allowed tools and recipe although it can be overridden by step, route, prd, lot, and experiment for exceptions. Each process is dynamically assigned to one or more eqp_type-process_family combinations with use_pct. One process_family is determined to be primary. If grouping is done correctly, a process should only be one eqp_group with no crossover. (* inherited from FPSINPUT.RTG_PROCESSES)

COMMON_STEP

A display-friendly field that groups similar steps together for purposes of viewing the entire line. Typically the only duplicates within a single route will be optional ordered steps in the same segment. But we will often have steps across routes that share the same common step even though exact step definition is not identical. (* inherited from FPSINPUT.RTG_COMMON_STEPS)

OPERATION

Operation is usually the primary level of routing in the MES and the level where the facility typically reports moves. FPS only allows one tool per step so our step is a lower level of routing than operation although both may be the same if the MES only allows one tool per operation. Note that because operation can include multiple steps and therefore multiple process families that we cannot have any association to equipment by operation. (* inherited from FPSINPUT.RTG_OPERATIONS)

ROUTE_SEGMENT

Route_segment allows for clear hierarchical segment organization for Segment Summary and Line Viewer on Dashboard. This is often referred to as stage and typically will come from the MES (as opposed to facility_segment which we will typically have to define for our purposes). We recommend that all routes in the same route family have the same route segments in the same order so that the Line Viewer by route family will be consistent but if this is not the case then we approximate the order as best we can. (* inherited from FPSINPUT.RTG_ROUTE_STEPS)

PROCESS_FAMILY

See https://help.inficonims.com/display/DW/Guide+to+Process+Families. (* inherited from FPSINPUT.RTG_PROCESS_FAMILIES)

PROCESS_MODULE

WIP_MODULE is used to credit moves and set goals. See comments on the module column in GEN_MODULES for info on this column and how it relates to eqp_module and mnt_module. (* inherited from FPSBASE.RTG_ROUTE_STEPS_PLUS)

TOOL

Tool is generally just the main tool. The exception is when different entities on the tool run completely independently and it is physically impossible to run wafers of the same lot across multiple entities. In this exception case, we may want to assign the entities to different eqp_types and therefore we should define each entity as a tool. Please note that when we do this there is no indication whatsoever that these different entities are on the same tool. (* inherited from FPSINPUT.EQP_TOOLS)

EQP_TYPE

Each tool is assigned an EQP_TYPE and all tools in the same type are identical meaning that they should run at the same throughput when running the same process with the same chamber type count. We also expect similar availability since these tools are identical. However tools in the same EQP_TYPE may have different chamber configurations and may run different groups of processes.
