Machine scheduling problems associated with semiconductor manufacturing operations (SMOs) are one of the major research topics in the scheduling literature. Lots of papers have dealt with different variants of SMOs’ scheduling problems, which are generally difficult to tackle theoretically and computationally. In this paper, the single machine, parallel machines, flow shops, and job shops scheduling problems from SMOs have been reviewed, based on different processing constraints, e.g., batch processing, auxiliary resources, incompatible job families, and reentrant flow, etc., with the cycle time, flow time, and throughput-related performance measures. Given the vast and diverse nature of the current literature, it is urgently needed to make a systematic survey in order to identify the important research problems, research trends, and the progress of the related solution methods, as well as clarify future research perspectives. We hope the findings and observations could provide some insights to the researchers and practitioners in this domain.

The manufacture of semiconductor products requires many dedicated steps, and these steps can be grouped into several major phases. One of the major steps found at the end of the wafer fabrication process is the electrical die sorting (EDS) test operation. This paper focuses on dispatching policies in an EDS test facility to reduce unnecessary work for the system. This allows the semiconductor manufacturing facility to achieve better overall efficiency, thereby contributing to sustainable manufacturing by reducing material movements, the use of testing machines, energy consumption, and so on. In the facility, wafer lots are processed on a series of workstations (cells), and the facility holds identical parallel machines. The wafers are moved by an automatic material handling system from cell to cell as well as within cells. We propose several scheduling policies consisting of intercell and intracell material movements for efficient system operation. For this, four intercell scheduling policies and two intracell scheduling policies are introduced, and the effects of combinations are tested and evaluated through simulation experiments to obtain performance measures such as cycle time and work in process. The most efficient results among the combinations are presented as a proposed scheduling policy for a given EDS test facility.
