Scope of Symposium
Information and communication technology(ICT)-based personal assistant such as smartphone and iPad have provided rapid and reliable access to ideas and experiences from a wide range of people, communities and cultures, and allows everyone at every level to collaborate and exchange information on a wide scale. The Si based semiconductor ecosystem development in micro and nanolandscape continues to be the key and indispensable enabler and a formidable force in ICT evolution.
Analytical support has played and still plays a predominant role in material & process research, process development, defect free manufacturing and reliability. Advanced analytical tools and specialized methodologies have been providing facility to leading edge research labs and global manufacturers to link composition , structure, morphology, roughness, hardness and adherence with defect reduction, yield improvement and optimum performance enhancement. The principle and application of electron, photon, ion beam-based analytical tools such as XPS, AES, SIMS, AFM, TEM/EDX/EELS, FIB/SEM ,X-ray imaging, XRD, XRF, RBS, PIXE, FT-IR, GC-MS, AAS, ICP-OES, are briefly described with references to will be presented with specific references to microelectronic process and package industry cluster.
This comprehensive one day workshop enables the attendees to understand and appreciate the fundamentals of electronic materials science, process development, various coating technologies, equipment options, testing, reliability, front end/back-end manufacturing coupled with analysis on cost, market, materials availability, yield issues, trends, drivers and roadmap of challenging microelectronic ecosystem.
