Microchip Fabrication : A Practical Guide to Semiconductor Processing

by peter-van-zant

Microchip Fabrication describes the issues, science, processes, and materials involved in manufacturing microchips. The scope covers the established older processes and those required for fabrication of state-of-the-art ULSI circuits. This, to my knowledge, is the only book in the field that explains this complicated technology to a non-technical reader in clear terms without resorting to equations and higher math. It is read as a first book by non-professionals and professionals coming into the field. Its purpose as a self study text is two fold. One-workers in chip plants and/or in supplier companies can understand the work they do and its relationship to the whole fabrication process. Two-the book will provide the basic understanding and terminology to make more advanced texts and professional articles meaningful. It is written for use as a textbook for introductory courses for both in-plant or community college level use.

A good introduction to the entire process of semiconductor processing. From raw silicon wafers to finished devices.All explained in a simple non too technical language. You will have a solid working knowledge of all the important issues and processes,materials and methods involved in semiconductor technology.

This particular volume, is less helpful than I hoped- there are details I didn't expect, like company functional units and organization. Fairly introductory.
