Breaking Barriers in Semiconductor Simulations: An Automated Low-Code Framework for Model-Structure Synchronisation and Large-Scale Simulation Studies

The paradigm shift towards Industry 4.0 and the emerging trends of Industry 5.0 present ongoing challenges in production planning and control. In response to these dynamics, discrete event-driven simulation methods are gaining prominence as an operational decision-support-tool, particularly in the semiconductor industry. This paper introduces an automated low-code framework designed to synchronize model structures across simulation tool boundaries for extensive simulation studies, using the Semiconductor Manufacturing Testbed 2020 as a test reference, and aims to serve as a helpful tool for simulation experiments. Key aspects include model structure synchronization, Design of Experiments, and the distributed execution of large-scale simulation studies.
