FabGuard® Software

Powerful Yet Compact Solutions for Deployment of FabGuard FabGuard Controllers provide powerful compact solutions for deploying FabGuard integrated process monitoring solutions. These reliable industrial controllers connect with tools and sensors through FabGuard to perform real-time data acquisition and analysis, whether for detailed chamber-specific analysis or as part of a fabwide SPC & FDC system. FabGuard Controllers support INFICON sensors, third-party sensors as well as the variety of tools found throughout fabs. Even the demanding requirements of high-speed applications can be met using the FabGuard High Speed Controller.

Tool Management, Process Specific INFICON Sensor Integration and Analysis Systems provide process verification and control, including run-to-run control of key process parameters for process optimization and immediate and automatic feedback to the process equipment or a process engineer on any faults detected and their probable cause. FabGuard Sensor Integration and Analysis System takes data from in situ sensors, integrates that data with data from the process equipment itself, and condenses and analyzes it to provide the process engineer with actionable information. Alternatively, the engineer can choose to have FabGuard automatically send control commands directly to the process equipment. Powerful Data Management for Enhanced Productivity Make your fab's data work for you. The FabGuard Sensor Integration and Analysis System enhances tool productivity, by providing process control, and reducing losses from process drift, contamination, tool malfunction, or unnecessary test...

Timely information is essential for increasing fab productivity and remaining competitive in the market place. The pressure to enhance profitability makes it critical that a factory is productive and flexible, while increasing yield and throughput. FabGuard APC saves both time and money in factory operations by executing run-by-run (RbR) control strategies that drive process results to achieve target regardless of day-to-day equipment or process drift. APC systems collect product measurements and recipe set points which are used to calculate new recipe set points that optimize wafer processing. The use of an APC System maximizes overall product yields and increases profit by making sure that each wafer performs as close to end of line metrics as possible. Benefits FabGuard APC increases yields, reduces costs and enhances manufacturing by providing optimal process set points to compensate for equipment and environmental variations. Strategy and Flow FabGuard APC provides you with...

Integrated Out of Control Action Plans Increasing complexity of manufacturing and the need to correct issues in real time requires that everyone has access to expert knowledge that can be used to minimize downtime and correct issues. FabGuard eOCAP provides a framework for capturing complex knowledge assets and delivering them intuitively and interactively to users at the moment they need them, via a web browser. FabGuard eOCAP enables both expert and non-expert users to collaborate in capturing, delivering, maintaining, and improving this vital content. Knowledge Management System FabGuard eOCAP helps organizations move beyond traditional knowledge repositories, interactively helping non-experts find and apply the right knowledge through relevant and properly sequenced multi-step processes. Additionally, FabGuard eOCAP can learn and constantly react to the changing relevance of different articles. The system helps factories to capture and automate the logical flow of...
