About John Doxsey • Work Experience

– “Doing computers” for 42 years, Fairchild/National/TI for last 30 – Some form of Factory Automation since 1976

• Education – Took my 1st computer class in 1965 at the age of 14 (FORTRAN)

– B.A. in Computer Science from SUNY Potsdam – “Almost-a-Masters” in Computer Science from RPI

• Hobbies – Reading, sailing, skiing, re-constructing various parts of my home,

watching my three daughters grow into young women

• Personal Philosophy – If work isn’t fun you’re doing the wrong job

• IT Philosophy – You can’t have a good information system without a good data

collection system. Get the data right. Keep it. Use it.

What MFAB Produces ….

8

Semiconductor Manufacturing 101

• From Silicon to Wafers to Die (Chips) to Packaged Parts

• High Complexity – 300 – 700 unique operations to fully process the wafer – Each operation uses a different kind of equipment (tool)

• High Precision – Every operation must be performed in the correct order – Each must be executed perfectly - Every Time !! – Equipment must operate within narrow tolerances

• Super Cleanliness – Class 1 Clean Room – Class “sub-1” Pods & Mini-environments – “Class” = # of .5 micron particles found per cubic foot of air

9

How big is a Micron?

• 1-millionth of a meter (1/1,000,000)

• Diameter of a Human Hair 40-50 microns

• Red Blood Cell 6-10 microns

• Typical Bacteria 5-20 microns

• Clean Room Particle Detection .5 micron

MFAB Factory Automation System • Software has all been developed “in-house” by our IT Staff

• We fully Automate “the Simple, but Important Things” – Right lot, right tool, right recipe, right operator, right reticle

• Everything in the Factory gets controlled or tracked – 100% of equipment is controlled and operated by the system – All wafers are in Pods with Smart Tags

• Each wafer is uniquely identified via a number etched into the silicon • The position within the pod is tracked (Slot 1 – 25) • The Smart Tag has a unique ID burned into its EPROM • The Smart Tag communicates with the System via Infrared (TV Remote)

• System supports all aspects of Manufacturing – Running Wafers on Equipment – Maintaining the Equipment (Repairs and Preventive Maintenance) – Statistical Process Control
