Discrete-event simulation using systemC: interactive semiconductor factory modeling with FabSim
Proceedings of the 2003 International Conference on Machine Learning and Cybernetics (IEEE Cat. No.03EX693)
Analytical simulation is thus limited to special cases with high abstraction. Discrete-event simulation (Fishman 2001) is the method of choice to describe the whole factory. Semiconductor fabrication factories are large enterprises with many toolsets, each having multiple production machines. The process flow is highly reentrant, therefore modeling is best done by discrete-event simulation. To describe such a fab, the author has developed a new discrete event simulator called FabSim. It is
