What's This Course About

Semiconductor Process Fundamentals Masterclass gives you comprehensive knowledge of the CMOS process modules and process flow used in modern semiconductor manufacturing. Understanding how each module works and how modules are integrated is essential for engineers and technicians who need to control processes, solve problems and improve yield. This masterclass is designed for process, equipment, yield and integration engineers, technicians and technical professionals who are new to or growing in the semiconductor industry.

You will start with CMOS process modules and the process flow, covering wafer preparation, oxidation, photolithography, etching, thin film deposition, ion implantation, diffusion and annealing, chemical mechanical planarisation and metallisation. You will learn the purpose of each module, the key equipment and process parameters, and how they come together in a typical CMOS flow from isolation and well formation to gate, source and drain and interconnects.

The second topic focuses on CMOS process integration and performance, examining how process variation and interactions between modules affect transistor characteristics, reliability and yield, and how metrology, inspection and statistical process control are used to keep processes in control. You will work through practical examples of common process issues and their root causes. By the end of the masterclass, you will understand the CMOS manufacturing flow and be better equipped to support process control and yield improvement.

John Yik is a semiconductor technical consultant and trainer with more than 30 years of experience in the semiconductor foundry environment. He spent over two decades at GlobalFoundries in Singapore, progressing from Group Leader and Section Manager to Senior Principal Engineer in advanced module technology development and then Member of Technical Staff in process development, where he worked on process build, equipment management, inspection, tool commissioning and technology roadmap development. He is named on a patent for a contact mask for semiconductor manufacturing. He holds a Master of Engineering in Microelectronics from Rochester Institute of Technology and a Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics, and is a certified Project Management Professional (PMP), Certified ScrumMaster and Certified Scrum Product Owner, as well as an ACTA-certified adult trainer. Since 2018 he has worked as a freelance technical consultant, bringing real fab experience into every class.

On Semiconductor Process Fundamentals Masterclass, John walks learners through how chips are actually made, from wafer preparation, oxidation, lithography, etch, deposition, doping and CMP to device structures, process integration, metrology and yield. He illustrates each step with examples from his years in foundry process development, explaining why process windows, defect control and equipment discipline decide whether a technology node succeeds.

Dr. Alfred Ang brings an engineering and research perspective to semiconductor technology: his doctoral research at the National University of Singapore was in microelectronics and quantum effects in semiconductor devices, built on a first degree in Physics. He holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the National University of Singapore, an MSc in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from NTU and a BSc (Hons) in Physics from NUS, and spent more than 20 years in the defence, electronics and semiconductor industries, where he co-invented more than 20 US patents and published more than 20 peer-reviewed papers. Today he is the Chief Technology Officer of Tertiary Infotech Academy and founded Tertiary Infotech Sdn. Bhd. in Malaysia in 2016. As CTO he leads the planning, delivery and continuous release of the course-registration and learning management platform behind the Tertiary Courses websites in Singapore, Malaysia and Ghana, coordinating developers, trainers and operations staff across three countries. His semiconductor and electronics background helps learners connect device physics and process steps to the products and systems they end up in.

On Semiconductor Process Fundamentals Masterclass, Dr. Ang complements the process view with device physics and electronics fundamentals, drawing on his PhD in Electrical Engineering and two decades in the electronics and semiconductor industries.
