I understand that to improve a device characteristic we must know all the manufacturing processes. This is the way we can observe the influence between each process step and its results. As an example, I chose to use a simple power semiconductor device process, that has the same concepts for other semiconductor devices. The ideaContinue reading “Schematic Process for Manufacturing Power Semiconductor Devices”

For a semiconductor industry there are a lot of costs that should be well reviewed before implementing any project. Imagine the following situation, there is a huge addressable market for your product, there are competitors, and you need to beat them to be profitable. What can you offer to make that happen? That´s a questionContinue reading “Manufacturing Costs”

Hi! Today I invite you to participate of this post, because I will compare different semiconductor technologies based in their characteristics and manufacturing processes. I think a good starting point is to divide the semiconductor in this post in two groups: power semiconductors devices and digital or mixed-signal devices. In the first group I willContinue reading “Different Semiconductor Technologies – Power Semiconductor devices x MOS technology devices”

I love processes! Production processes explain much more than we can imagine … A few years ago I started to worry a lot about food, I started this wave of reading all the labels of the products I would buy and researching what all those chemicals mentioned and codes described in the composition of theContinue reading “Why Processes ?”

Project, as we know, is a temporary effort undertaken to create a product, service or result. It always has a programmed start and an end. Projects are typically created based on problem solving needs, or business opportunities. The starting point of the projects, after their initial definition, is the collection of data to foster theContinue reading “Project”

I believe that in our entire lives, all of us, have heard of waste or loss. How many times do we hear about food waste, water waste and of course energy losses? We are currently experiencing a new Industrial Revolution, where we hear about Smart-Grids, IoT, AI and also Green-Tech and sustainability. Well, this isContinue reading “Electric Energy Savings – Avoiding Losses”
