Topic: Panel Discussion: Semiconductor Quality Assurance through Metrology
ABSTRACT:
This panel discussion focuses on Semiconductor Quality Assurance (QA) through the lens of metrology, addressing QA issues in the semiconductor manufacturing process. The discussion will cover four key areas: Prevention, Detection, Control, and Continuous Improvement. The emphasis will be on the role of metrology in ensuring the quality and reliability of semiconductor products. The panel will explore how metrology contributes to preventing defects, detecting anomalies, controlling manufacturing processes, and driving continuous improvement in semiconductor quality. Attendees will gain insights into the critical role of metrology in maintaining high standards of quality assurance in semiconductor manufacturing.
