Excerpt: Improving Wafer Fab Yield

I have permission from Lattice Press to distribute an excerpt from the
extraordinary new book, "Microchip Manufacturing," by Stanley Wolf, Ph.D. This
book is an illuminated guide to ULSI process engineering, including such vital
subjects as wafer fabrication, thin films, silicon crystal growth, lithography,
etching, testing, packaging, contamination and safety.

Stanley Wolf is an internationally-recognized expert in silicon processing. A
professor of electronic engineering at California State University Long Beach
for ten years, Dr. Wolf also taught seminars in integrated circuit fabrication
at UC Berkeley Engineering Extension for over 20 years. He is the author of the
seminal series, "Silicon Processing for the VLSI Era, Volumes 1-4." Dr. Wolf
continues to teach on-site seminars on contemporary issues in semiconductor
manufacture.

The excerpt I have permission to distribute is called "Wafer Fab Operations and
Yield," and discusses such vital subjects as wafer transport, improving
efficiency, yield management, laying-out and staffing wafer fabs. The excerpt
is rendered as a PDF file that is 5.6 megs. To get the excerpt, simply send
with the subject line "Send Wafer Fab" and I
will reply with a clean PDF file attachment -- and *only* the file -- no opt-in
mailing list jive or marketing spam.

Why don't you simply mount it somewhere for download and publish
that URL? Much more convenient for all, especially if you zip or
bz2 it. An email attachment automatically expands the transmission
by 1 part in 3, and is a nuisance at both ends.
