Using a database to support an equipment hookup project

摘要

In any new fab construction project, hookup—the connection of all process and support equipment to the building's facility systems—is the last step before the start-up of production. A complex and time-consuming process, hookup involves a variety of systems, ranging from electrical supplies and gas distribution lines to drains and mechanical exhaust systems. The hookup project described in this article was carried out at the Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) Fab 30 in Dresden, Germany (shown in Figure 1).
