Abstract

This paper presents the concept of a Design History System (DHS), and describes a protoype DHS called the Process Technology Transfer Tool (PTTT) which was designed to aid in transferring process design information between Advanced Development and Manufacturing.

The implementation team at DEC consisted of Dr. H-J. Fu (Team leader), Rahul Bansal, and Chuck Haggerty, with some assistance from Alice Lin, and support from Paul Posco.
