The Upcoming Role of PostgreSQL in Flat Panel Display Production

TCZ, a joint venture between Cymer and Carl Zeiss SMT, is focused on developing innovative production equipment for the emerging flat panel display (FPD) market. This presentation is a case study that will show the many ways PostgreSQL is utilized as a critical component of the Master System Controller for the TCZ 900X system.

TCZ, a joint venture between Cymer and Carl Zeiss SMT, is focused on developing innovative production equipment for the emerging flat panel display (FPD) market. The Master System Controller for the TCZ 900X system makes extensive use of PostgreSQL for data persistence.

This case study will start by describing the TCZ 900X system and how it is used in FPD production, at a 50,000 foot level. The general software architecture will then be described in somewhat more detail. The bulk of the presentation will describe: - the many uses for PostgreSQL in this highly complex system - some details around specific methods for handling high volumes of data collection, processing, and display - how Postgres allows us to abstract machine control, maximizing future flexibility
