Data-driven cycle time optimisation in semiconductor manufacturing using machine learning and heuristic search algorithms

In semiconductor wafer fabrication, cycle time strongly affects throughput and cost, yet is hard to control because bottlenecks shift across tools over time. This paper presents a hybrid framework that combines machine learning (ML) and heuristic optimisation to minimise the impo...
