This book is concerned with wafer fabrication and the factories
that manufacture microprocessors and other integrated circuits.
With the invention of the transistor in 1947, the world as we knew
it changed. The transistor led to the microprocessor, and the
microprocessor, the guts of the modern computer, has created an
epoch of virtually unlimited information processing. The
electronics and computer revolution has brought about, for better
or worse, a new way of life. This revolution could not have
occurred without wafer fabrication, and its associated processing
technologies. A microprocessor is fabricated via a lengthy,
highly-complex sequence of chemical processes. The success of
modern chip manufacturing is a miracle of technology and a tribute
to the hundreds of engineers who have contributed to its
development. This book will delineate the magnitude of the
accomplishment, and present methods to analyze and predict the
performance of the factories that make the chips. The set of topics
covered juxtaposes several disciplines of engineering. A primary
subject is the chemical engineering aspects of the electronics
industry, an industry typically thought to be strictly an
electrical engineer's playground. The book also delves into issues
of manufacturing, operations performance, economics, and the
dynamics of material movement, topics often considered the domain
of industrial engineering and operations research. Hopefully, we
have provided in this work a comprehensive treatment of both the
technology and the factories of wafer fabrication. Novel features
of these factories include long process flows and a dominance of
processing over operational issues.
