All are welcome to an invited seminar by Devin Arnold, Dry Etch Section Manager in the Manufacturing Development Engineering group in Micron Technology’s Process R&D Department. The title is: “An Overview of Memory Fab Processing” The seminar will be from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday September 24, in WEB L102. There will be light refreshments afterwards.
Abstract:
Memory products are found everywhere today. From your home to your phone to your automobile you see products that require memory to function. There are also the many servers that you don’t see that allow social networking, and the many online services we are accustomed to today. The memory industry services many areas including: computing, networking, servers, consumer electronics, mobile, automotive, and industrial applications. This presentation will give a brief background of the industry and focus on the unit process areas of memory fabrication. The process of transforming a silicon wafer into memory chips is done through many chemical processes including Oxidation/Diffusion, Chemical Vapor Deposition, Physical Vapor Deposition, Ion Implantation, Chemical Mechanical Polishing, Photolithography, Plasma Etching and Wet cleaning.
