Unified Frontend and Backend Industrie 4.0 Roadmap for Semiconductor Manufacturing

Industrie 4.0 or digitalization of manufacturing currently create uncertainty and unrest in the manufacturing industry as many players do not know when, how or whether a disruptive change in industry will happen. Many published high-level strategies stay vague and leave practitioners unsure what to expect. Breaking Industrie 4.0 down into tangible pieces and steps is necessary for transporting the vision into reality. In this paper we develop an assessment and roadmap for Industrie 4.0 in semiconductor manufacturing - the FInCA model. The model covers semiconductor frontend and backend manufacturing.
