Fundamentals of Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology

The course covers fundamental manufacturing technologies and processes used in the semiconductor industry for the production of integrated circuits (microchips).

After an introduction to the fundamental properties of semiconductor materials and devices, the processes and methods of microfabrication that underpin the key semiconductor manufacturing technologies will be covered in more detail. This will include photolithography, etching, thermal diffusion and ion implantation doping, oxidation and thin film deposition methods.

The course will also introduce the typical semiconductor characterisation methods and metrology techniques, which are important to the development and fabrication of microchips. Manufacturing issues such as reliability, yield analysis and control, testing and packaging and practical aspects such as cleanroom operation, vacuum technology and gas safety will also be covered.
