What You'll Learn
In this module, students will learn the concept of process risk and its impact, enabling them to identify problems and apply root cause analysis methods. They will also appreciate the role of process optimisation, and the Design of Experiments (DOE) for systematic improvement and understanding the key process parameters. Additionally, they will recognise the importance of yield modeling and strategies for yield improvement, and basic yield management techniques. They will comprehend the significance of statistical methods in process monitoring and control, providing them with a strong foundation to contribute effectively to semiconductor manufacturing processes, defect prevention, and yield improvement initiatives.
