This book provides a completed technician-level explanation of the major issues and processes in semiconductor fabrication for non-engineers working in fabrication support functions, such as operations, planning, quality control, and technical personnel. Readers will also find invaluable coverage of wafer test and evaluation, manufacturing technology, semiconductor devices and structures, integrated circuit types, and chip packaging. Entirely updated and expanded to reflect all recent developments, this book is based on a seminar attended by over 800 technicians and other personnel.
