Course Overview

This program focuses on understanding the foundation of and applying the XperiDesk development methodology. Participants will learn to predict how a specific process step and its variability can influence overall yield and manufacturability. Participants will also evaluate how a new mask design might affect the results of a previously developed process, while synthesizing key aspects of device design and process engineering. Additionally, the program covers how XperiDesk can be effectively used for tracking and tracing activities.

This course is designed for: Laboratory workers, engineers, and scientists who want to deepen their understanding of the methodologies and capabilities of the XperiDesk system for collaborative, digital process engineering.

Requirements

  • Familiarity with XperiDesk basics, including completion of all XperiDesk Basics How-to Videos.
  • Practical experience with basic XperiDesk tasks, such as navigating and operating the GUI and locating, opening, locking, and saving items.
  • Access to the CMC XperiDesk Training System during the course.
  • Use of two displays for optimal course participation.

Training Method

  • The course includes lectures, simulations of specific scenarios, discussions of real-world application examples, and hands-on exercises.
  • Simulations and practical exercises can be completed independently on a laptop, providing participants with a flexible and interactive learning experience.

Course Objectives

  • Understand and apply the foundational principles of XperiDesk’s development methodology.
  • Learn to predict the impact of process steps and variability on yield and manufacturability.
  • Evaluate how changes, such as new mask designs, affect previously developed processes.
  • Synthesize key aspects of device design with process engineering for more effective outcomes.
  • Gain proficiency in using XperiDesk for Tracking & Tracing to systematically manage and analyze experimental data.
