Course Description

By focusing on the basics of each processing step and the issues surrounding them, participants will learn why certain techniques are preferred over others. Our instructors work hard to explain how semiconductor processing works without delving heavily into the complex physics and mathematical expressions that normally accompany this discipline.

Participants learn basic but powerful aspects about the semiconductor industry. This skill-building series is divided into three segments:

1. Basic Processing Steps. Each processing step addresses a specific need in IC creation. Participants learn the fundamentals of each processing step and why they are used in the industry today.

2. The Evolution of Each Processing Step. It is important to understand how wafer fab processing came to the point where it is today. Participants learn how each technique has evolved for use in previous and current generation ICs.

3. Current Issues in Wafer Fab Processing. Participants learn how many processing steps are increasingly constrained by physics and materials science. They also learn about the impact of using new materials in the fabrication process and how those materials may create problems for the manufacturers in the future.

Learning Objectives

  • Review of the semiconductor industry and its technical issues.
  • Understand the basic concepts behind the fundamental wafer fab processing steps.
  • Identify the key issues related to each of the processing techniques and their impact on the continued scaling of the semiconductor industry.
  • Identify the basic features and principles associated with each major processing step. These include processes like chemical vapor deposition, ion implantation, lithography, and etching.
  • Understand how processing, reliability, power consumption and device performance are interrelated.
  • Make decisions about how to construct and evaluate processing steps for CMOS, BiCMOS, and bipolar technologies.

Who Should Attend

This course is a must for every manager, engineer and technician working in the semiconductor industry, using semiconductor components or supplying tools to the industry.

Abstract

Companies across the semiconductor value chain must respond to a dynamic horizon as the ISSB Standards are adopted by securities regulators, standard-setters and stock exchanges around the world. At the same time, investors are asking companies to voluntarily transition from the TCFD recommendations to the ISSB Standards to meet their information needs.

To clarify what the ISSB Standards mean for the semiconductor value chain, SEMI is pleased to collaborate with the IFRS Foundation, which is the organizational seat of the ISSB. Our webinar, ISSB Standards Adoption and Reporting for the Semiconductor Value Chain, outlines the stakes for companies, demonstrates the business value of the Standards (IFRS S1 and IFRS S2), answers audience questions, and provides a venue for information exchange. There will be a deep dive into implications for climate reporting under IFRS S2 after a high-level look at the background and workplan of the ISSB.

Our distinguished speakers from IFRS Foundation are Neil Stewart, Director of Corporate Outreach, and Jing Zhang, Head of Climate Research.

This event is part of the SEMI webinar series, “Global State of Play: Sustainability Regulations, Reporting, & Incentives.” This series offers semiconductor industry professionals the chance to interact with top-tier experts on the most pressing challenges in compliance, disclosure, and strategy for sustainable business.

Sustainability

Worldwide, companies in the semiconductor value chain are undergoing paradigm shifts in how they report sustainability-related risks and opportunities to stakeholders in government and capital markets.

Semiconductor manufacturing and design firms, together with their business partners, face heightened pressure to report on their performance related to climate transition, human capital management, supply chain management, and a host of other environmental, social, and governance issues.

On one hand, companies face a patchwork of reporting rules conditioned on where they do business. On the other hand,  a global baseline of sustainability-related disclosures ushered in by the IFRS Foundation’s International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) is gathering momentum.

Course Description

The first part of the course provides a brief overview of semiconductor design and fabrication steps, encompassing IC design techniques, all wafer processing steps, assembly, and packaging. It delves into semiconductor jargon in laypeople terms, and various substrate types such as Si, SiGe, FDSOI, GaAs, SiC, GaN. Additionally, it discusses different types of transistors like pMOS, nMOS, Bipolar, BiCMOS, CMOS, FinFets, and GAA and their evolution and what applications they are used in.
 
The second part of the course focuses on semiconductor business aspects such as silicon economics, wafer processing costs, semiconductor revenue forecasts, driving forces in the industry, top semiconductor IDMs, market competitors based on market share, OEMs, foundries, top tool vendors, and Fabless companies.  Addresses the fastest-growing semiconductor markets based on geographic locations and applications, identifies semiconductor competitors/customers, and discusses major semiconductor markets like Automotive, PC, Mobile, Memory, Wireless, Cell phones, Consumer, Gaming, AI, IoT, Digital TV, Radio, Automotive, MEMS, and Emerging Technology & Impact on Industry.
