Enhanced approaches of content management for the collaborative semiconductor business

Over the last several years in the semiconductor business, types of the semiconductor products have been dramatically diversified, and its business has expanded on a large scale. As a result, technology of advanced processes and devices has been more sophisticated, and its information produced has been too huge to be well managed. Therefore there have been many difficulties in creating and sharing information and knowledge necessary for developing and manufacturing products, with traditional processes and existing information systems. Eventually such problems caused additional lead-time of product and technology development, and had it lagged behind other competitors, being an obstacle to reduce costs and time to market. In order to solve the problem, a new classification of contents is established so that technology and information necessary for product development and production can be composed of knowledge chain. Further, the collaborative content management system base on the enterprise-wide knowledge chain is developed. This paper discusses models of designed system and its construction approach.
