Abstract

This paper summarizes the work of nineteen students in a graduate class offered during the Winter/Spring semester of 1996 in an MS in Manufacturing Systems Engineering program. There is an assessment of the manufacturing technologies and tooling needed for the realization of an advanced microprocessor-like product in 2001. A representative `typical´ process routing was developed by examining leading-edge products and current projections. The fab will process 300 mm wafers and ship naked die. There are estimates of capital costs, and potential production volumes, these are somewhat scalable and afford a method for benchmarking and gauging future trends in this industry
