OVERVIEW:
This short course provides an overview of three fundamental aspects of semiconductor manufacturing technology -- Fab, Packaging, and Test. These basic semiconductor manufacturing steps and their attributes are described and discussed. In addition, information on scheduling, cycletime, design, yield factors, and inventory is provided. Cost elements are given for both manufacturing and products. Semiconductor manufacturing's unique characteristics will be explained, and major inputs and organizational structures will be presented.

This class provides a unique technical and organizational perspective to both those working in and those interfacing with semiconductor manufacturing operations. The course material is mostly qualitative and can be easily understood by students having technical and non-technical backgrounds.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Packaging and test engineers, quality and reliability engineers, managers, investors, marketing and sales personnel.
