Using data mining technology to design an intelligent CIM system for IC manufacturing

This paper aims to explain a specific intelligent computer integrated manufacturing system by integrating the following five major domains: computer integrated manufacturing, data warehouse, online analytical processing, data mining and artificial intelligence. The data mining system makes use of the decision tree algorithm and classification model in exploring the meaningful information, which is useful in the process of decision making. Subsequently, the rules discovered by the data mining system are expressed through the rule based knowledge presentation method of the expert system. The intelligent CIM system is applied to semiconductor packing factories and also point at the great fluctuation of dynamic random access memory prices. The contribution can increase business competitiveness, reduce production cost, and promote the rate of available promise for order.
