Project Title
Data-Driven Cross-Fab AMHS Move Reduction in a High-Volume Semiconductor Fab
Project Description
This internship project focuses on exploring AI-enabled approaches to improve Automated Material Handling System (AMHS) efficiency in a high-volume semiconductor manufacturing environment. In Micron's Fab10 campus, wafer movement between buildings is performed through overhead transport systems and inter-building link bridges with finite transport capacity. As manufacturing demand continues to grow, cross-fab move volume has increased beyond desired targets, creating opportunities for optimization.
The intern will leverage Artificial Intelligence, Generative AI, AI Assistants, and data analytics techniques to study historical AMHS movement data, identify key drivers of cross-fab transfers, and evaluate opportunities to reduce non-value-added movements. The project will expose the intern to semiconductor manufacturing operations, logistics optimization, and data-driven decision-making.
Objective of the Project
The objective of this project is to identify and categorize factors contributing to cross-fab transport demand and assess AI-enabled strategies that can improve transport efficiency, reduce unnecessary transfers, and enhance overall material movement performance.
Opportunities for Full Time Employment
Successful completion of the internship may provide opportunities to be considered for future full-time roles, subject to business requirements, performance, and available openings.
Project Scope
The intern will have opportunities to:
Analyze historical AMHS transportation data and movement patterns.
Apply AI Assistants and AI-enabled analytical methods to uncover key movement drivers.
Evaluate factors such as tool distribution, scheduling practices, staging strategies, test wafer movements, and empty FOUP transfers.
Develop and assess potential optimization concepts using data analysis, modelling, or simulation techniques.
Generate recommendations to improve cross-fab transport efficiency and reduce non-value-added movements.
Present findings and improvement opportunities to project stakeholders.
