2024-2026 European Project SC4EU

2019-2023 European Project SC³

  • Semantically Coordinated Semiconductor Supply Chains (SC³)
  • Partners: Infineon Technologies, AG Robert Bosch GmbH, Research Institute for Telecommunications and Cooperation (FTK), German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB)
  • Grant: H2020 ECSEL
  • Contact: Claude Yugma & Stéphane Dauzère-Pérès
  • Postdocs working on the project : Abdelhak Khemiri
  • Description: The SC³ Project relies on enabling a collaboration of industrial as well as academic stakeholders to ensure interoperability among semiconductor companies, and further industrial domains. SC³ implements an industrial reference platform as a de-facto standard (frequently used). This framework acts as a key enabler for realising an agile development – validation – refinement loop of a top-level ontology i.e. Digital Reference (DR). DR comprises a combination of different ontologies of semiconductor supply chains and supply chains containing semiconductors. SC³ activities will have a strong focus on sustainability and uptake of the project results, this includes on the one hand to keep the established community alive and on the other hand that the semiconductor data documentation, (i.e. the Generic Semiconductor Data Model) will be further developed and maintained even after the project duration. SC³ will incrementally add domain knowledge to the DR

2019-2023 ANR project AGIRE

  • Decision system for smart management of resources in warehouses
  • Partners: Ecole Centrale Lille (INOCS), IFFSTAR (SPLOTT), HappyChic

Such warehouses are under pressure due to the no inventory policy at the sale points and to the constant growth of e-commerce sales. In terms of logistics, this translates into an increasing number of parcels to prepare and to ship to satisfy an order, which is known typically a few hours in advance.

2019-2022 Project MadeIn4

  • Metrology Advances for Digitized ECS industry 4.0
  • Partners: 40+ European Industrial and Academic Partners
  • Grant: H2020 Ecsel

  • Postdocs working on the project : Mohamed-Taki-Eddine Korabi, Wei‐Ting Yang
  • Description: The metrology domain is a key enabler for productivity enhancements in many industries across the electronic components and system (ECS) value chain and have to be an integral part of any Cyber Physical Systems (CPS). The requirements from the metrology is to support ALL process steps toward the final product. However, for any given ECS technology, there is a significant trade-off between the metrology sensitivity, precision and accuracy to its productivity. MADEin4 address this deficiency by focusing on two productivity boosters which are independent from the sensitivity, precision and accuracy requirements.

2003-2009 project Rousset

Data mining techniques for Semiconductor Manufacturing

  • Partners: Laboratoired’InformatiqueFondamentale of AMU (Aix-Marseille University)
  • Contact: Christian Ernst
  • Description: We introduce data mining techniques into semiconductor manufacturing fabs like STMicroelectonics in Rousset. The objective is to improve the yield management by discovering correlations between measured parameters within the manufacturing chain. We focus on post hoc APC (Advanced Process Control) approaches, which compare the end result of the whole process with the desired specifications, analyzing the root causes of low yield for adjusting the process parameters to ensure future quality. We developed a complete KDD model: we simplified the measured data by adapted preprocessing and transformation tools and extracted two kinds of Decisional Correlation Rules which enhance conventional association rules. We currently parallelize these approaches in order to secure the work and explore other ways to improve it.
