Defect source identifier with static manufacturing execution system
First Claim
1. A defect source identifier that provides information used to identify a source of a defect on a substrate, which defect source identifier comprises:
- a LotRoute database generation process and a LotRoute database access process, wherein;
the LotRoute database generation process comprises a software application that runs on a server and that, in response to user input, defines a wafer route including wafer route information, and associates the wafer route with any one of a number of entities; and
the LotRoute database process comprises a software application that runs on the server and that, in response to input from the defect source identifier, retrieves the wafer route information using an identifier of one of the entities.
