III-V Workshop

 

International Consortium for Advanced Manufacturing Research

High Volume Manufacturing of III-V and other novel materials on Si-based
wafers for smart sensors, photonic and semiconductor applications


ICAMR invites you to a workshop focused on III-V manufacturing scale integration on Si wafers for advanced sensors, photonic and semiconductor devices based on advanced semiconductor platforms. The miniaturization of microelectronics has been the guidance for research and development in the semiconductor industry over the last decades and is driving the transition to these new materials. This transition also requires the equipment for high volume manufacturing (HVM) to be developed and optimized for these new materials and processes. In the recent updates of the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS), the focus has been on emerging research materials (ERM). In 2011 the ITRS upgraded some of the III-V materials (n-III-V and p-Ge) into the ERM list, the Process Integration, Devices, and Structures (PIDS) chapter and the Front End Processes (FEP) chapter marking their relevance as alternate channel materials for HVM in the semiconductor industry.

This workshop will identify the key applications that drive the need for III-V and other novel materials to be incorporated on manufacturing scale (200, 300 mm) Si wafers. The growing demand of devices with the need for low cost and high conversion efficiency coupled with high reliability and an increase in functionality and applications, particularly in harsh environments, has led the semiconductor technology development look beyond Si, into emerging research materials such as III-V’s. The recent trend predicts the need for intelligent and connected devices which can be enabled by such materials. The workshop is designed to address the key challenges associated with the III-V integration on a Si based platform for high volume manufacturing. Additionally subjects like modeling, testing, reliability, and, packaging will be discussed. Also, the difficulties the industry will face in terms of pre-competitiveness, penetrating the market, ramping up the production of these III-V materials, deposition, Environment, Health and Safety (EHS), process and quality controls, will be discussed.

This workshop will feature presentations from industry, research partners and equipment suppliers; it will invite participants to discuss the challenges and gaps associated with HVM of these advanced materials and devices. Not only will the workshop help identify the needs of the industry for these next generation HVM processes, it will also allow this select group of invitees to network, share their respective knowledge and guide the future of the semiconductor industry.

Objective

Identify the challenges across the complete process and supply chain (materials, equipment, metrology, modeling, test & reliability, packaging, device integration, wireless communication, EHS, standards, etc.) that lead to cost effective solutions in implementing emerging materials onto the well-established Si platform for advanced sensor, photonic and semiconductor applications.

Scope

The workshop will bring together key industry participants with significant experience in the processing and manufacturing of these materials with existing technology platforms and business plans to transition to the new HVM processes and platforms. Participants of the workshop will include select representatives from industry, equipment suppliers, national laboratories and universities with key core competencies in these fields.

Deliverables

  • Provide workshop participants with the presentations and workshop information collected in the process of identifying the challenges related to the HVM of the III-V materials.

  • Help align efforts that accelerate solutions to pre-competitive and common challenges critical to advanced manufacturing of these future products
