Course contents:
Statistical process control (SPC) SPC is the quality assurance method employed in most modern manufacturing processes and is used exclusively by the semiconductor manufacturing industry. The method offers an organized and systematic manner for ensuring that a process is running within specification (under control - no unusual or special variations exist), even when the internal measures of that control are considerably noisy (there are "normal" variations). The idea is to make sure that processes are running as near as possible to capability i.e. producing the highest yield, based not only on the final measure (deliverable product) but also on "in-line" measurements (checks made during the manufacturing process) and individual tool monitors (tests). SPC as a strategy emphasizes systematic monitoring and continuous improvement. Design of experiments Design of experiments means optimizing the time put into performing and analyzing experiments to ensure success. Factorial design is a technique for determining which of several variables affect a process and how important each is. T- and F- tests help determine the probability that a hypothesis is true, that is to say whether a change made during the experiment affected the process. Statistical design uses this same information to determine (before-hand) how many samples, paired or unpaired, must be made to achieve a required degree of certainty.
