Here is an excellent interview with Dr. David Thompson, Senior Director, Center of Excellence in Chemistry, Applied Materials on the challenges of bringing new ALD Precursors to production. For those of you who still have the possibility there will be a opportunity to meet and talk to David Thompson at the CMC Conference 5-6th of May (see details below).
Controlling Variabilities When Integrating IC Fab Materials

Semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing has always relied
upon the supply of critical materials from a global supply chain. Now
that shrinks of IC feature sizes have begun to reach economic limits,
future functionality improvements in ICs are increasingly derived from
the use of new materials. The Critical Materials Conference 2016—to be
held May 5-6 in Hillsboro, Oregon (cmcfabs.org)—will explore best
practices in the integration of novel materials into manufacturing. Dr.
David Thompson, Senior Director, Center of Excellence in Chemistry, Applied Materials
will present on “Agony in New Material Introductions – minimizing and
correlating variabilities,” which he was willing to discuss in advance
with SemiMD.
New Additions to a Powerful Lineup
May 5-6, Hillsboro, Oregon
|
The Critical Materials Conference provides a framework to catalyze the flow of actionable technical and supply chain information related to critical materials.
New Additions to the Critical Materials Conference Include:
- David Thompson, Ph.D., Director of Process Chemistry of Applied Materials
- Agony in New Material Introductions - Minimizing and Correlating Variabilities
- Toshi "Tommy" Oga, Ph.D., Gigaphoton Inc.
- Neon Efficiency Improvement/Recycling
- Dan Alvarez, Ph.D., Chief Technology Officer - RASIRC
- Hydrazine as a Low Temperature Nitride Source: Materials Challenges for High Volume Manufacturing
A highly differentiated program, with networking opportunities for all attendees.
Conference
themes center around the Critical Materials Council and global IC
fabrication industry needs. While executive conferences typically focus
on the "what" and "why" of materials technologies, this conference also
discusses "how" new materials can be controllably, safely, and
cost-effectively used in fabs. Additionally the Conference includes
market data to validate "when" materials will be needed. Attendees from
fabs, OEMs, and materials suppliers alike have the opportunity to
interact with the presenters and colleagues, to gain insights into the best practices of the entire supply-chain.
