Abstract

A method is provided. The method includes disposing a plurality of robotic facilities to form a semiconductor handling system, controlling the semiconductor handling system with a controller to handoff a workpiece between neighboring robotic facilities, and providing a software interface for the controller, wherein the software interface permits a user to view alternate configurations of the handling system in order to optimize a characteristic of the handling system.
