Applied Materials, Inc. today announced that semiconductor and storage products company Toshiba Corporation has purchased Applied's SmartSched® predictive scheduling software to improve the capacity and efficiency of its photolithography operations. Installation of the first phase of this breakthrough software solution began in August at Toshiba's Fab 4 facility in Yokkaichi, Japan - currently one of the world's largest 300mm "mega fab" chip production factories.1
"Unlocking litho capacity was identified as a critical step in increasing output in our manufacturing operations," said Masanori Morikawa, senior manager of manufacturing engineering at the Toshiba Yokkaichi Operation.
