Introduction to Quality Management in the Semiconductor Industry

The “Students’ Version is a “black and white” only version with a slightly reduced number of pages as compared to the full version of this text book. The primary purpose of our book is to provide the “fast lane” to practical quality engineering and management in the semi-conductor industries. In line with this objective, this book is meant to be more a guide to practical quality engineering and management, rather than a scientific treatise. Although it has been written for the semiconductor technology community, it goes without saying that it is useful for almost all other industrial areas, since in a way semiconductor technology (in particular micro-electronics) is a good model case how 100% stringent QM can be implemented in practice.
