- In the semiconductor industry (including materials and manufacturing equipment), JMP has functions that can be used in each phase of research and development, quality and reliability control, manufacturing, and inspection.
- This video provides an overview of JMP, introduces examples of its use in the semiconductor industry, and demonstrates its functions and applications in data analysis and statistical analysis. At the end, it also introduces resources for using JMP.
- Although the book introduces case studies and provides example data for the semiconductor industry, the content will also be useful for those working in research, quality control, manufacturing, etc. in the manufacturing industry (electronic components, automobiles, materials other than semiconductors, etc.).

*This video and materials use the latest version of JMP (JMP Pro) 18.0.1 at the time of production (June 2024).
*You can download the materials (pdf) used at the seminar from this page.

Introduction: What is JMP and how is it used in the semiconductor industry?
Learn about JMP's features and how it is being used in the semiconductor industry through case studies and customer testimonials.
In addition, we will demonstrate the powerful features of JMP using CVD (chemical vapor deposition) process data from semiconductor manufacturing. (18 minutes 28 seconds)
Topic 1: Capability analysis to evaluate and explore multiple processes
In JMP, you can specify specification limits for process variables and perform process capability analysis, but we will introduce the "Process Screening" function, which allows you to examine and compare multiple processes at once. (9 minutes 59 seconds)
Topic 2: Creating wafer maps and classifying wafer non-conformances through clustering
Using "Graph Builder", we create a wafer map and visualize the number of non-conformances. Furthermore, we use cluster analysis to classify wafers into several groups based on non-conformance patterns. (10 minutes 3 seconds)
Topic 3: Reliability Analysis – Product Life Prediction
JMP has many functions for analyzing product reliability. Here, we use the commonly used "univariate life" function to apply various distributions to life data, select the best model, and predict the failure probability using the best model. (7 minutes 38 seconds)
Topic 4: Overview of Design of Experiments (DOE) and its use in semiconductor manufacturing
This article provides an overview of experimental design and shows an example of its use to identify factors that affect the amount of photoresist removed and its variability in the plasma ashing process. (16 minutes 2 seconds)
Topic 5: Building statistical models and exploring factors that affect characteristic values
This is an example of using JMP or JMP Pro to build a statistical model and use the Prediction Profiler to make predictions and explore contributing factors. (11 minutes 42 seconds)
Topic 6: Automating analytical tasks with workflows
This article will introduce how to use JMP's "Workflow Builder" to record JMP operations and generate a script that reproduces the operations. (10 minutes 9 seconds)
