LYNX / StrataGem 300mm Cluster Deposition System

The LYNX and StrataGem 300mm courses are highly student oriented. The student is in control of his/her own development by being allowed the freedom to determine how they complete all the requirements of the course. The course manager is always present to ensure the success of the student.

This style of course design fosters some competition, which motivates the student to do better/faster than their classmates. The class becomes energized and enthused, which ultimately leads to a more alert and attentive student, enhancing the learning process, and increasing the retention of all students.

Course Description
This one-week training course is the first in a series of three, one-week courses. The course provides graduating students with the skills and knowledge required to troubleshoot, repair and maintain the Genus LYNX3 Series CVD System as well as StratGem300 ALD System

The skills are developed through classroom presentations on system operations and control loops. Classroom instruction is reinforced and supplemented by hands-on exercises on an operational system in the training lab.

Quizzes, exams, and practical skill checks are given to measure to achievement of stated objectives. Students are required to pass a final written and a practical troubleshooting test with a score greater than 85%.
