Semiconductor manufacturing is one of the most complex manufacturing environments due to tightly constrained processes, reentrant flows, sophisticated equipment, and highly automated operations. The IEEE RAS Technical Committee on Semiconductor Manufacturing Automation promotes research and industrial collaboration in automation and intelligent decision-making technologies, including Operations Research, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Digital Twins, and autonomous manufacturing systems across wafer fabrication, assembly, packaging, and testing.
