This paper describes a cost and productivity learning process that was
carried out on a large-capacity CMOS manufacturing line at the IBM
Burlington facility from 1991 to 1993. Major productivity gains were
realized through process and tool improvements affecting yield, and
through work-in-progress optimization and scrap reduction. Significant
cost learning was also accomplished through tool cost management, capital
depreciation and space cost reductions, and manpower optimization.
