This paper presents an Internet-based system, VirMIC, for virtual manufacturing of integrated circuits, in which products design, production planning/scheduling and partner selection are integrated. The function kernel of VirMIC consists of three modules, the module for the simulation and optimization of circuit performances and yield, the module for the simulation and scheduling of manufacturing system, and the module for product decision support system. In the first module, with the help of an underlying object oriented distributed computation environment constructed based on CORBA, a visual TCAD environment is constructed for design of a process flow considering the tradeoffs among yield, performances and profit in a controllable way. The second module is mainly responsible for design and optimization of the performance of manufacturing system. Providing simulation and optimization abilities, the module can help engineers to obtain the desired performance of manufacturing system and optimized production scheduling among partners. Above two modules supply a platform for an enterprise to demonstrate their design abilities and manufacturing capacities to customers and other potential partners. With the abilities supported by the previous two modules, the last module is developed for the optimal selection of partners based on multi-criteria tradeoff analysis for the formation of a virtual enterprise in response to a certain market opportunity.
