FPSBASE.PERF_P_H_LINEBAL_SHIFT

FACILITY

VARCHAR2(6)

N

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. (* from FPSINPUT.GEN_FACILITIES)

ROUTE

VARCHAR2(256)

N

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

STEP

VARCHAR2(256)

N

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. (* from FPSINPUT.RTG_ROUTE_STEPS)

START_SHIFT

DATE

N

Shifts can be of any length and it is important that all queries get the shift length based on start_shift and end_shift rather than assuming a set number of hours. (* from FPSINPUT.CAL_SHIFTS)

CALENDAR_DAY

DATE

N

When we choose this day on a website calendar we will associate with work_days of this day. Typically this is the day of the start_day but not always. For example, start_day might be 17:00 and represent the following calendar_day. (* from FPSINPUT.CAL_WORK_DAYS)

CALENDAR_DAY_TXT

VARCHAR2(25)

COMMON_STEP

VARCHAR2(50)

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. (* from FPSINPUT.RTG_COMMON_STEPS)

LINE_BALANCE_GROUPING

VARCHAR2(48)

LINE_SECTION

VARCHAR2(32)

Large grouping of the line, e.g. FEOL, BEOL, Cu, etc. There should be only a handful of values for the entire facility - or if the facility only has one section then we can leave this column blank. (* from FPSINPUT.RTG_LINE_SECTIONS)

MODULE

VARCHAR2(12)

Modules are departments of people who manage certain areas of the fab. The modules are assigned ownership of a set of tools to operate and maintain as well as steps on the route that they are responsible for executing. Since many of our tables include tool and step information together, we must distinguish between the owner of the step (WIP_MODULE), the owner of the operation of the tool (EQP_MODULE), and the owner of the maintenance of the tool (MNT_MODULE). WIP_MODULE is used to credit moves and set goals. Each route-step is assigned to a process family and then its wip_module is defined by the process family. EQP_MODULE is used to group tools particularly for tool performance reporting. Similar to WIP, each tool is dynamically assigned to a process family based on its assignments and then its eqp_module is defined by the process family. MNT_MODULE is usually the same as EQP_MODULE but unlike EQP_MODULE is not dependent on assignments but only on the EQP hierarchy. Each tool is assigned to an eqp_type and each eqp_type is assigned to a mnt_family and each mnt_family is assigned to a mnt_module. (* from FPSINPUT.GEN_MODULES)

MODULE_DISPLAY

VARCHAR2(20)

The name of the module displayed on all dashboards and reports. We allow a longer more descriptive name here although often this will be the same as the module. (* from FPSINPUT.GEN_MODULES)

MONTH

VARCHAR2(9)

OPERATION_FAMILY

VARCHAR2(36)

Grouping of route-step that is completely dependent on routing information from MES. The primary use of this field is for filtering on Operations Dashboard. Unfortunately for our database structure and naming convention, this field no longer has any link to operation. This is because operation is used primarily for Oper Moves and it is normal for steps in an operation to belong to multiple MES routing groups. For example, a sink step and a furnace step and a measurement step are in the same operation but each step belongs to the appropriate sink/furnace/measurement MES routing groups which we store in operation family. Since Dashboard already uses both operation and operation_family extensively and independently, we decided not to rename either column but simply remove the link. Please note that operation family is similar to process family and in fact they are often the same. The key differences are that operation family has nothing to do with equipment and that comes straight from ETL with no complex logic. Process family is the link between routing and equipment for the Operations Dashboard and therefore has complex logic. (* from FPSINPUT.RTG_OPERATION_FAMILIES)

PROCESS

VARCHAR2(50)

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. (* from FPSINPUT.RTG_PROCESSES)

PROCESS_FAMILY

VARCHAR2(50)

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

QTY

NUMBER

Quantity of units in the lot according the qty_unit defined for the facility. It is required for all lots in each facility to have their qty defined in the same units therefore the change in the unit is critical to defining the facility. For example, a pretest facility might have a sort step in the middle where we learn the qty of die. Prior to this step we know only the wafer qty but after this step we know both wafer and die. Since wafer is the only qty we know throughput the flow then wafer must be defined as the qty unit for this facility. Die can then be populated as sec_qty when it is known. Similarly the wafer saw facility might have a step in the middle where we cut the wafers into die. After this step we no longer know the number of wafers which means that die must be the qty unit for this facility and wafers can be the sec_qty prior to the saw step. Please note that a lot with qty of 0 is allowed but only if the sec_qty is greater than 0. This is unusual but one case is where we know the wafers will be scrapped but cannot be scrapped quite yet. (* from FPSINPUT.WIP_EVENT_HIST)

QTY_FROM_CFG

NUMBER

ROUTE_FAMILY

VARCHAR2(36)

Route_family indicates that all routes within the family have similar or even identical steps and have the same segments. At facilities where various prds share the same route it is likely that the route will be the route_family. This is sometimes referred to as the main process flow. It is used on Segment Summary and Line Viewer to group similar routes. (* from FPSINPUT.RTG_ROUTE_FAMILIES)

ROUTE_GROUP

VARCHAR2(36)

Route_group is the parent of route_family. Route_group is used on the Dashboard and other applications as a large grouping for filtering. At many sites this is referred to as technology. (* from FPSINPUT.RTG_ROUTE_GROUPS)

ROUTE_SECTION

VARCHAR2(32)

A large grouping of route steps used for line balance and should be set to contain at least a week of steps based on cycle time. Line balance uses this grouping instead of segment so that it can be configured independently from segment which is used in the Dashboard for display purposes, but they can also be set the same if desired. The section should be large in order to minimize the impact of short-term WIP distribution changes on step WIP targets because line balance calculates step WIP targets based on the WIP currently in each section. (* from FPSINPUT.RTG_ROUTE_STEPS)

ROUTE_SEGMENT

VARCHAR2(36)

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. (* from FPSINPUT.RTG_ROUTE_STEPS)

SHIFT

VARCHAR2(13)

Name of shift must be unique and can be in any format as long as it is display friendly since this is what we show everywhere. We prefer that other tables should reference start_shift rather than shift in case we want to change the naming convention for the shift. (* from FPSINPUT.CAL_SHIFTS)

START_MONTH

DATE

START_WEEK

DATE

N

Work weeks must be 7 days in duration and the start of the work week must be the start of one of the work days. (* from FPSINPUT.CAL_WORK_WEEKS)

TARGET_WIP_QTY

NUMBER

TARGET_WIP_QTY_FROM_CFG

NUMBER

WAFER_SIZE

VARCHAR2(8)

If the facility only has one wafer size then this column should be null in both RTG_PRDS and EQP_TYPES. If the facility has more than one wafer size then a value of null in EQP_TYPES means that those tools can run all wafer sizes. See column IS_ANY_WAFER_SIZE for details. (* from FPSINPUT.GEN_WAFER_SIZES)

WAFER_SIZE_DISPLAY

VARCHAR2(16)

The name of the wafer_size displayed on all dashboards and reports. We allow a longer more descriptive name here although often this will be the same as the wafer_size. (* from FPSINPUT.GEN_WAFER_SIZES)
