Determining the optimal probing lot size for the wafer probe operation in semiconductor manufacturing

In this study, we reformulated the problem of wafer probe operation in semiconductor manufacturing to consider a probe machine (PM) which has a discrete Weibull shift distribution with a nondecreasing failure rate. To maintain the imperfect PM during the probing of a lot of wafers, a minimal repair policy is introduced with type II inspection error. To increase the productivity of the PM, this paper aims to find an optimal probing lot size that minimizes the expected average processing time per wafer. Conditions and uniqueness for the optimal lot size are explored. The special case of a geometric shift distribution is studied to find a tighter upper bound on the optimal lot size than in previous study. Numerical examples are performed to evaluate the impacts of minimal repair on the optimal lot size. In addition, the adequacy of using a geometric shift distribution is examined when the actual shift distribution has an increasing failure rate.

Float-Zone Mono-Crystalline Silicon

PAM-XIAMEN can offer float zone silicon wafer, which is obtained by Float Zone method. Monocrystalline silicon rods is got through float zone growth, and then process the monocrystalline silicon rods into silicon wafers, called float zone silicon wafers. Since the zone-melted silicon wafer is not in contact with the quartz crucible during the floating zone silicon process, the silicon material is in a suspended state. Thereby, it is less polluted during the process of floating zone melting of silicon. The carbon content and oxygen content are lower, the impurities are less, and the resistivity is higher. It is suitable for the manufacture of power devices and certain high-voltage electronic devices.

At room temperature, crystalline germanium is brittle and has little plasticity. Germanium has semiconductor properties. High-purity germanium is doped with trivalent elements (such as indium, gallium, boron) to obtain P-type germanium semiconductors; and pentavalent elements (such as antimony, arsenic, and phosphorus) are doped to obtain N-type germanium semiconductors. Germanium has good semiconductor properties, such as high electron mobility and high hole mobility.
