Learn moreCritical Manufacturing MES, the platform trusted by the world’s leading chip manufacturers, brings the capabilities that matter most for semiconductor R&D and fabs, packaged for where you are today. No infrastructure overhead, no budget uncertainty. Start focused, demonstrate progress quickly, and scale at your own pace from a foundation that doesn’t need to be rebuilt.
This offer is not a scaled-down version of something bigger. It is a carefully selected package built around the specific realities of running a semiconductor R&D lab or fab, and what it takes to deliver results at this stage.
With Critical Manufacturing MES Packaged SaaS offer for Semiconductors, you will be able to:
Pre-configured semiconductor workflows and hands-on onboarding get your team up and running with real-time experiment tracking, recipe management, and full traceability , without the lengthy setup of a traditional MES project.
Fixed annual subscription. OPEX, not CAPEX. The number you sign stays the number you plan around.
Cloud-hosted on AWS. No servers to procure. No IT team required. Focus stays on your science.
Start with essential MES capabilities and expand progressively as operational complexity and production requirements evolve.
We offer modules covering everything from experiment tracking and recipe management to full traceability, equipment control, and statistical process control. You will learn and implement it yourself as you are ready. The same capabilities powering semiconductor execution at the world’s leading chip manufacturers are available as part of your SaaS subscription.
Tracks materials, sub-materials, and their containers throughout the manufacturing process
Defines the process and rework flows as well as it provides step and resource level dispatch rules
Define and execute data collection plans
Enables the design and execution of experiments in an integrated manner
Provides preventive and corrective maintenance to resources, containers and materials
Provides integrated recipe management and recipe resolution capabilities
Provides lot-based sampling as well as sub-material sampling at metrology steps
Performs SPC using standard and user defined SPC validation rules
Ensures end-to-end traceability and genealogy across products, raw materials, resources, and processes
Maintains the factory model and all the manufacturing master data
Monitor equipment activity and availability with full visibility across production and process development environments
Manage bill-of-materials with a structured, traceable, and integrated approach to support accurate production execution
Guides the user through the execution of complex operations and manages factory wide action items
Enables bidirectional integration with machines, IoT devices, protocols, and data sources
Provides bi-directional integration to enterprise applications
Provides the functionality to track the different customer orders and to fulfill the orders either by assigning work-in-process material, finished goods, or creating new materials for the order
Provides a set of pre-aggregated and consolidated data to speed-up and facilitate different type of multi-dimensional analysis
Alarm Management provides a mechanism to send notifications about any event at any time to a user or to a group of users
What's included in the SaaS package:
Semiconductor modules with full platform access
Access to AWS infraestructure with 24/7 hosting with annual support and monitoring
Pre-configured workflows and master data ready from day one
Training available up to 5 trainees with 1 certification included
New fabs and innovation centers are being announced across every major region and the pressure to move from experiment to production is intensifying. Yet for many semiconductor R&D labs and emerging fabs, the systems meant to support that transition are working against it.
For any R&D lab, the priorities might differ, but the need to graduate from old, cumbersome and outdated systems is the same. Whether you are a semiconductor R&D facility or a high volume manufacturer, choose an MES that offers system scalability, data visibility, and advanced functionality.
Research Fab Microelectronics Germany has brought together 13 research institutes and given them the advantages of a centralized organization. To further cooperation and accelerated learning, FMD decided to source a common MES across its multiple sites.
