Streamlining quality control and ensuring reliability in semiconductor manufacturing
We’re excited to share a compelling success story from JSR Micro, a leading semiconductor materials manufacturer based in Belgium. Their deployment of JMP Live has significantly optimized quality control and operational efficiency—key wins that resonate strongly in the market.
Video Summary
- JSR Micro, a subsidiary of JSR Corporation, produces critical photoresist materials for semiconductors.
- JSR Micro faced challenges integrating data across disparate systems (production, QC, environmental), making batch analysis time-consuming.
- With JMP Live, they connected systems, automating data pipelines, enabling real-time monitoring and anomaly detection.
- Automated control charts and integrated dashboards support continuous quality oversight with JSR Micro.
Key Takeaways
- Data integration at scale: JMP Live consolidated production, QC, and environmental data, removing silos.
- Automation wins: Scripted workflows cut batch-review time from 15 to five minutes, multiplied across 10+ daily checks.
- Proactive quality: Real-time control charts highlight deviations immediately, preventing faulty batches from reaching customers.
- Scalable monitoring: Managing many parameters, JMP Live ensures operational rigor and scalability.
Return on Investment
- Massive time savings
- Early detection and reduction of defects downstream.
- Improving operational efficiency
Customer Quotes
Mathieu Vanden Bulcke, Director Quality, JSR Micro:
- “JMP Live allows us to connect to all our different data sources; gather all this information, analyze it, and check correlations. We can tune exactly the way we look at the data. Missing data, or abnormal deviating data, if we do not catch it and it comes to our customers, it could impact thousands of chips. So, it would be very harmful for the customer, and also very harmful for our relationship with that customer.”
Ruben Lenaerts, Quality Assurance Sr Specialist:
- “Looking, for example, at these batch reports. It's something that took 15 minutes, and now it takes five minutes, which does not seem like that big of an improvement, but it is something that is done 10 times a day. So if you then look at how much time it saves in a year, then you end up at more than 10 working days of time saved.”
