E-Learning for microelectronics manufacturing

In this paper, we report on an EC-funded project concerning the creation of content for e-learning for microelectronics manufacturing. The project E-LIMM (E-L earning for Microelectronics Manufacturing) aims at addressing the shortage of highly skilled industrial staff in the microelectronics industry by creating high-quality training and e-learning courses and modules. This demands qualification and continuous re-qualification by training programs for operators, technicians, engineers, freshmen, and managers. The goal of the project is the application of information technology and especially multimedia learning content integrated into networked systems for training and further education of the staff in microelectronics manufacturing. The four main topics for content creation are process technology, factory automation and operation, process and metrology equipment as well as environment, safety, and health. Training and learning material for microelectronics skills will be created and integrated into web-based training platforms. Based on this project, the development of skills and knowledge share will be considerably strengthened.
