Content(s)
* General introduction. Presentation of standard process flow in microelectronics. reminders on usual notions (miniaturisation, integration, Front-End, Back-End,...).
* A standard CMOS structure is used to illustrate the succesion of process steps.
* Each process class is developped in order to point-out their advantage, drawbacks, limitations, state-of-the-art techniques,...
* Cleaning - Drying
* Deposition - Growth
* Photolithography
* Etching
* Doping
* Specific processes for microsystems (Micro-machining)
