Wafer Fab Processing

Course outline

5 days

Duration

5 days

Overview

MSSB’s 5-day Wafer Fab Processing training programme provides basic but powerful information about the intricate semiconductor manufacturing process. Additional hands-on training in each process module helps in developing the technical skills of the participants.

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the training programme, participants should be able to:

  • Understand the basic semiconductor wafer processing steps in each process modules: diffusion, thin film, lithography and etch.
  • Learn the fundamentals of each processing step and the reason it is use in the industry today.
  • Understand the evolution of each processing techniques, previous and current generation IC’s.
  • Understand the basic processes of a CMOS device (from device level until back end processes).

Methodology

This course will utilize a combination of lecture and practical/hands-on lessons in cleanroom.

Target Group

Managers, engineers, and technicians working in the semiconductor industry, undergraduates/post-graduates students in related filed.
