INFRASTRUCTURE's seminars on the manufacturing of semiconductors have been well received by both the industry and the financial community. For the last three years, the global industry trade association, SEMI (Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International) has invited Infrastructure to deliver a Tutorial version of their seminar at the SEMInvest investor conference in locations such as New York and London. The seminars have also been delivered publicly and privately in cities across the US.

This website offers a brief extract from the full seminar. In the form of a self-guided tour, it walks the newcomer to semiconductor manufacturing through the primary process steps involved in chipmaking. Each major process step is described with a conceptual graphic, some bullet points and a short descriptive text passage. Click here to start the Tour, or pick one of the slide titles at the left to go to a specific slide.

We hope these few slides help you better understand the complex business of manufacturing semiconductors. If you have an interest in attending one of our live seminars, please send an email with your geographic location to Carl Johnson (carl@infras.com) to be put on our mailing list.
