Course Description
This three-day virtual workshop (4 hours a day) provides a complete overview of the semiconductor manufacturing process. The class focuses on key process steps needed to form a functioning device. Some important science and engineering ideas needed to understand device manufacturing will be discussed. The workshop is designed for non-technical personnel needing an understanding of the fab process steps. Some technical background from attendees will improve the workshop learning.
The first day will overview the fab process steps with a brief summary of how a transistor functions. We will discuss how multiple transistors are connected to form a logic or memory device. We will also cover how a transistor works with respect to the physical layout of Bipolar and MOSFET transistors.
The second day will cover key fab process steps. Ion implantation, photolithography including DUV and EUV processes, plasma processes including deposition and etch, rapid thermal processing, and wet etch processing. Specific emphasis will be given to the different wet etch processes.
The third day of the workshop will focus on the new transistor designs, including FinFET and CFET designs. We will also cover reasons for changing the transistor design and newer materials, including tantalum, hafnium, silicon germanium, and low-k dielectrics. We will also review roadmaps of leading companies, including TSMC, Intel, and Samsung.
After completing the workshop, the student will be able to describe all the fabrication and assembly process steps and have an understanding of how the process steps work together to form the completed integrated circuit, in addition to an understanding of future structures.
