Abstract

Systems and methods for data archiving management. A storage device stores archive data and at least one data introduction. The archive data comprising at least one data item corresponding to a data introduction is generated after completing a corresponding semiconductor product, wafer or wafer lot. A processing unit transmits a first Web page comprising the data introduction to a client computer, acquires the data item from the archive data in response to a data preview request, transmits a second Web page comprising the data item to the client computer, and transmits the data item to the client computer in response to a data download request.

Claims

1. A system for data archiving management, the system comprising:

a storage device storing archive data and at least one data introduction, the archive data comprising at least one data item, the archive data generated after completing a corresponding semiconductor product, wafer or wafer lot, and the data introduction corresponding to the data item; and

a processing unit transmitting a first Web page comprising the data introduction comprising a data identity for the data item to a client computer, acquiring the data item from the archive data in response to a data preview request with the data identity, transmitting a second Web page comprising the data item to the client computer, and transmitting the data item to the client computer in response to a data download request with the data identity.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the data item is generated during semiconductor manufacturing.

3. The system of claim 2 wherein the data item is a configuration file for a semiconductor fabrication tool, Grid Description Section (GDS) file, quotation, order, shipment, wafer acceptance test (WAT) data report or circuit probing (CP) test report.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the processing unit further generates a new log containing information regarding that the data item has been previewed or downloaded by a user account, and stores the new log to the storage device.

5. The system of claim 1 wherein the processing unit further transmits a notice containing information regarding the data item has been previewed or downloaded by a user account to an operator.

6. The system of claim 5 wherein the notice is transmitted to the operator via e-mail or short message.

7. The system of claim 1 wherein the archive data is uncompressed or unpacked for data item acquisition.

8. The system of claim 1 wherein the processing unit further determines whether a user account has permission to access the data item, and transmits the data introduction corresponding to the data item when the user account has permission to access the data item.

9. The system of claim 1 wherein the processing unit receives the data item from a fabrication tool, a manufacturing execution system (MES), a management information system (MIS) or a testing equipment, and compresses or packs the data item to the archive data.

10. The system of claim 1 wherein the data preview request and the data download request are compatible with hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP).

11. The system of claim 1 wherein the first Web page and the second Web page are compatible with hypertext markup language (HTML).

12. A method for data archiving management comprising using a computer, comprising:

transmitting a first Web page comprising a data introduction comprising a data identity for a data item to a client computer, the data introduction corresponding to the data item;

acquiring the data item from archive data in response to a data preview request with the data identity, the archive data comprising at least the data item, the archive data generated after completing a corresponding semiconductor product, wafer or wafer lot;

transmitting a second Web page comprising the data item to the client computer; and

transmitting the data item to the client computer in response to a data download request with the data identity.

13. The method of claim 12 wherein the data item is generated during semiconductor manufacturing.

14. The method of claim 13 wherein the data item is a configuration file for a semiconductor fabrication tool, Grid Description Section (GDS) file, quotation, order, shipment, wafer acceptance test (WAT) data report or circuit probing (CP) test report.

15. The method of claim 12 further comprising the steps of:

generating a new log containing information regarding that the data item has been previewed or downloaded by a user account; and

storing the new log to a storage device.

16. The method of claim 12 further comprises a step of transmitting a notice containing information regarding the data item has been previewed or downloaded by a user account to an operator.

17. The method of claim 16 wherein the notice is transmitted to the operator via e-mail or short message.

18. The method of claim 12 wherein the archive data is uncompressed or unpacked for data item acquisition.

19. The method of claim 12 further comprises the steps of:

determining whether a user account has permission to access the data item; and

transmitting the data introduction corresponding to the data item when the user account has permission to access the data item.

20. The method of claim 12 further comprises the steps of:

receiving the data item from a fabrication tool, a manufacturing execution system (MES), a management information system (MIS) or a testing equipment; and

compressing or packing the data item to the archive data.

21. The method of claim 12 wherein the data preview request and the data download request are compatible with hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP).

22. The method of claim 12 wherein the first Web page and the second Web page are compatible with hypertext markup language (HTML).

23. A system for data archiving management, the system comprising:

a storage device storing archive data and at least one data introduction, the archive data comprising at least one data item, the archive data been generated after completing a corresponding semiconductor product, wafer or wafer lot, and the data introduction corresponding to the data item; and

a processing unit determining whether a user account has permission to access the data item, transmitting a first Web page comprising the data introduction comprising a data identity for the data item to a client computer when the user account has permission to access the data item, acquiring the data item from the archive data in response to a data preview request with the data identity, transmitting a second Web page comprising the data item to the client computer, transmitting the data item to the client computer in response to a data download request with the data identity, generating a new log containing information regarding that the data item has been previewed or downloaded by a user account, storing the new log to the storage device, and transmitting a notice containing information regarding the data item has been previewed or downloaded by a user account to an operator.
