Statistical Methods Task Force: Call to Action
At SEMICON West 2022, a workshop titled, Detecting the Detection Limit – SEMI C10 Workshop, explored the journey of navigating the detection limit obstacle course, starting with a broad view of the problem focused on key detection limit concepts and limitations. The workshop examined natural biases and the application of detection limit standards since the application of the limits is where the standards succeed or fail, and explored how applying SEMI C10 to detection limit procedures helps improve yields and manufacturing processes. To view the recording from the workshop, please contact Laura Nguyen (contact below).
Key SEMI Standard Practices, SEMI C10 – Guide for the Determination of Method Detection Limits, SEMI C64 – Statistical Guidelines for Ship to Control, and statistically related sections of SEMI C1 – Guide for the Analysis of Liquid Chemicals, sets out important and useful guidance for these concepts, but these standards require extensive updates.
The Statistical Methods Task Force under the Liquid Chemicals North America Chapter recently formed and approved this Task Force for these purposes. Led by Tom Bzik (EMD Electronics) and Margaret Cromley (Intel), the task force requires a synthesis of quality experts, statistical experts, and analytical experts to best accomplish its Charter. This is a call for all interested parties to join the Task Force.
Please contact Laura Nguyen of SEMI Standards at [email protected] to join this effort!
