The TFT-LCD panel industry is one of the industries having fastest progress in Taiwan. Large size TFT-LCD panel industry is asset intensive with high entrance and exit barrier. The TFT-LCD panel makers have to continuously expand their capacity to maintain the competition. To keep reducing the manufacturing cost and to increase the throughput efficiency are the keys of success. Nowadays TFT-LCD fabrications use CIM to construct the fully automated manufacturing to shorten cycle-time and to increase revenue and turnover of capital. Appropriate mix of AMHS equipments can reduce the cost. Well plan of material flow and facilities layout can raise the efficiency of manufacturing.
Clean Stockers, one of the important AMHS equipments, play the role of storage and management of substrates, WIPs and products. In-line Stockers are built on process bay and Crane will be in charge of Intra-bay transportation instead of AGVs or RGVs. That will save the space used by AMHS, reduce the cost of AMHS, increase the reliability of transportations, and shorten cycle-time of products. But with getting larger of substrates size, using In-line Stockers will face the issues: increase in cost, difficulty in air flow control, increase of holding cost of inventory, and serious impact on production when Crane is down. Those issues will adverse the usage of In-line Stocker at G7 above fabrications.
This paper studies a G5 TFT fabrication to verify the benefits of In-line Stocker and show the problems it had suffered including difficulty in holding cleanliness, impact when Crane is down, and impact of multi-phase to expand capacity. This research also offers the recommends to these problems. Finally, there are three suggestions for further research: more actual data for comparison and analysis, loading balance of double Crane with only one side docked with OHV, and capability comparison of three different double Crane types. |
