Each year the Transactions on Semiconductor Manufacturing recognizes the best paper published during the previous calendar year. This year 12 papers were nominated by our reviewers and members of our Editorial Board and Steering Committee. The paper entitled “Maximizing Output During Ramp by Integrating Capacity and Velocity” by Adar A. Kalir and Kosta Rozen of Intel Corporation (vol. 31, no. 3, August 2018) was recognized as the Best Paper of 2018. The authors examine the very important problem of managing starts into a wafer fab during the ramp-up of new capacity, and find that maintaining starts slightly below constraint capacity to reduce cycle times can actually increase total output over the ramp-up duration.
