Course description and aims

Principles and limitations of micro-fabrication process in semiconductor devices for high-speed operation are described. After explanation of requirement of simultaneous miniaturization in vertical direction and lateral dsirection for high speed operations, latest technology with focus on lithography are explained. Then, diffusionregion, etching, oxidation, film deposition, and metallization are described.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Explain outlines of semiconductor processes which fabricated integrated circuit for popularization of low-cost and high-speed electric circuits.
2) Understand the guidelines for higher integration and speed.
3) Understand the method for miniaturization based on the scaling from principle operation of MOSFETs.

Keywords

Lithography, diffusion region, etching, oxidation, film deposition, metallization

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills ✔ Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills
✔ ・Applied specialist skills on EEE

Class flow
