Course Description
SCP009 - Oxidation/Diffusion Process Overview - 8.00 Hours
Prerequisites
NoneDescription
This course is one of a series of overview courses designed to cover process and equipment parameters for each major semiconductor processing step. The course stresses the fundamentals of current processes in oxidation, diffusion, annealing, ashing, reflow, and gettering. The course was developed for the Semiconductor Processing Industry to provide professional development for a broad audience of employees working for semiconductor manufacturers and suppliers.
Topics
Introduction and Equipment Overview:
- Identify the general steps of integrated circuit (IC) fabrication.
- Identify the purpose of processing using a furnace.
- Identify the key process parameters associated with a furnace process.
- Identify the key quality issues of furnace processes, such as oxidation and diffusion, where a material is deposited on the wafer.
- Identify the two basic furnace configurations.
- Identify four uses of silicon dioxide in making integrated circuits.
- Identify three types of oxidation processes.
- Identify four methods of supplying oxygen in the wet process.
- Identify a specific hazardous concern in a wet process.
- Identify two effects of time, temperature and pressure on thermal oxide growth.
- Identify the purpose of diffusion in semiconductor processing.
- Identify the two steps of the diffusion process.
- Identify the three types of dopant sources.
- Identify the key process parameters and quality issues of diffusion.
- Identify five furnace processes other than oxidation and diffusion.
- Identify two common techniques for annealing.
- Identify the purposes of the five furnace processes other than oxidation and diffusion.
- Identify the definition of gettering and the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic gettering.
Audience
Entry-level technicians and engineers, equipment operators, new hire professionals and support staff.
