PEER Group is one of the industry's largest, product-independent software services companies specializing in semiconductor fab automation. We provide factory automation software solutions, systems integration, and consulting services to both wafer fabs and assembly facilities across the globe. We are experts in 300mm automation and we offer a complete range of engineering services in all front-end and back-end fabs, photovoltaics and flat panel production.
Automation Consulting and Testing Services
Having worked with almost 300 equipment models, we have the knowledge and experience to design and implement Automation Capabilities Management (ACM), an automation consulting and testing service that ensures your newly acquired equipment meets your automation requirements and gets into production quickly. PEER Group is also an independent Test Services Provider (TSP), licensed by the International SEMATECH Manufacturing Initiative (ISMI) for testing conformance to industry standards.
Equipment Integration
PEER Group provides comprehensive Equipment Integration (EI) services for fab automation, including tool characterization and EI baseline design and development. We have experience with the new Equipment Data Acquisition (EDA) standards (also known as Interface A standards), which focus on improved process monitoring and control, and have implemented EDA-compliant solutions.
APC Solutions
We have a proven track record of deploying Run-to-Run (R2R) and Fault Detection and Classification (FDC) algorithms and applications on a fab-wide scale. Our process and development engineers understand the challenges and requirements of APC such as process identification, process model identification, controller design, parameter estimation, data classification and context management.
Fab Applications Integration
With a solid base of equipment-level automation experience, our work extends to fab automation applications that use equipment data, such as APC, MES and ERP systems. With our team's diverse knowledge and experience, we support manufacturers with expert consulting services, requirements and project scope planning, high-level architectural planning, risk and project management and integration services.
Custom Solution Development
PEER Group recognizes that not all automation challenges can be solved with commercial off-the-shelf software solutions. With our solid background in factory automation IT systems, we support manufacturers by defining and building custom solutions tailored to their specific needs. Our custom solutions range from product genealogy solutions to complete APC system development. From initial IT architecture planning and requirements gathering to final support and maintenance of systems in operation, PEER Group provides the right solution to fit each customer's unique fab automation goals.
