This paper reviews sampling techniques for inspection in semiconductor manufacturing. We
discuss the strengths and weaknesses of techniques developed in the last last 20 years for …

The semiconductor sector plays a crucial role in shaping national strategies and driving
economic growth; however, it faces significant challenges prompting a shift towards …

Surface mount technology (SMT) is widely used in semiconductor packaging factories to
assemble electronic components onto printed circuit boards. Therefore, reducing …

Organizations in the 21st century operate in evolving and highly competitive environments—
such environments are catalysts for deviation in organization‐planned operations, including …

This paper presents a new knowledge-based framework for integrated quality control
planning. The proposed approach is based on the concepts of advanced product quality …

In semiconductor manufacturing, in-line inspections are necessary to monitor processes,
products and tools in order to reduce excursions and achieve high yields of final products …

This paper first presents a simulation model implemented to study a specific workcenter in
semiconductor manufacturing facilities (fabs) with the objective of controlling the risk on …

In a context of globalization where economic transactions are consumed at a very high pace,
being able to rapidly move from a place to another is key in our society. This is especially …

In semiconductor manufacturing, several types of controls are required to ensure the quality
of final products. In this thesis, we focus on defectivity inspections, which aim at monitoring …

In this paper, we introduce a mathematical model for estimating the use of defect inspection
capacity. Until recently, the selection of lots to be inspected was only done at the beginning …
