Interconnect Process Integration

Oct 31, 2008 - Oct 31, 2008,
San Jose, California United States

Semiconductor and integrated circuit developments continue to proceed at an incredible pace. For example, today’s chips contain hundreds of millions of transistors. These challenges have been accomplished because of the integrated circuit industry’s ability to track Moore’s Law. This has been accomplished by making devices smaller and smaller. However, the interconnect metals and associated dielectric materials that facilitate wiring between the transistors are severely limiting further performance improvements. Scientists and engineers are scrambling for materials that can allow performance improvements without sacrificing cost and reliability. Interconnect Process Integration is a 1-day course that offers detailed instruction on the materials, processing technologies, and integration necessary to create high performance interconnect systems. We place special emphasis on current issues related to designing and manufacturing the next generation devices. This course is a must for every manager, engineer and technician working in the semiconductor industry, using semiconductor components or supplying tools to the industry.

By focusing on the fundamentals of interconnect performance, participants will learn why advances in the industry are occurring along certain lines and not others. Our instructors work hard to explain how interconnect systems work without delving heavily into the complex chemistry and materials science that normally accompany this discipline.

We have assembled a comprehensive educational programme to highlight this progress: much of this change has been driven by developments in our molecular understanding of cardiac pathology: we have included a session on basic science to allow clinicians an insight into this vital field. In addition to state of the art presentations by acknowledged experts, we have allowed time for lunchtime how-to sessions to include tips on echo, PCI, management of rhythm disturbance and a session on how to optimise training opportunities in Cardiology.
