This comprehensive seminar is based on the CMOS chip manufacturing process. BASICS OF CMOS IC MANUFACTURING was the basis for the DEMYSTIFYING CHIPMAKING book.

The one-day class describes the CMOS process flow in easily understood language. The basic principles underlying the manufacturing technology are explained and the fabrication steps are described in detail.

Students will learn about the materials and equipment utilized in state-of-the art manufacturing processes including the dual damascene process. Illustrations of the transistors used in CMOS technology clearly communicate the device structures.

Students will learn about the materials and equipment utilized in state-of-the art manufacturing processes including the dual-damascene process and the applications of lo- and hi-k dielectrics and metal gates. The layer-by-layer description of how the transistors used in CMOS integrated circuits are built and interconnected illustrates key circuit performance principles.

This course will be beneficial for technical persons new to the industry as well as other industry personnel without substantial technical backgrounds who need to know how integrated circuits are manufactured.

The instructors who developed the course are veteran semiconductor engineers with extensive industry experience. The course is available to individuals in open-attendance classes as well as taught at customers’ facilities.

The Open Attendance seminar is $495 per participant.
