Course Description
IEP001 - Physical Concepts - 16.00 Hours
Prerequisites
Previous college level course work or work experience is preferred as the new TKDP courses are intended as a review only.
Description
This course provides an overview of the physical phenomenon associated with processes used in the manufacturing of semiconductor devices. Key topics include mathematical manipulation, quantitative measurements, the physical units of time and space, factors that affect motion, energy, and matter, physical laws that define properties of gases, electromagnetism and its
effects, wave and particle theory, optical control of light, and equipment and process variables attributed to wafer manufacturing.

Audience
The new TKDP program, revised in early 2004 by the Texas Engineering Extension Service for Texas Instruments, is designed to help TI fab technicians grasp the technical aspects of the fundamental processes used to manufacture semiconductor devices. The program provides an overview of many of the scientific principles upon which the semiconductor industry was founded. It is expected that participants who attend these courses will have participated in similar courses in the past and understand that these brief courses are offered as a review and as a refresher.
