17、tion No. 132 -iii- PROCESS CHARACTERIZATION GUIDELINE Introduction Process characterization is an essential element of process control. A process is a combination of people, procedures, methods, machines, materials, measurement equipment, and/or environment for specific work activities to produce a

18、given product or service. When properly defined and controlled, it is a repeatable sequence of activities with measurable inputs and outputs. The characterization of a process defines distinguishing features of a process or its output on which variables or attributes data may be collected. Thus, thr

19、ough process characterization, a manufacturer may define and measure the stability, repeatability, sensitivity, and robustness of a process. Additionally, it supplies inputs for modeling which may be used to identify critical variables, optimize efficiency and output, and provide avenues for continu

20、ous improvement. Furthermore, once process characterization has been established, the process predictability may be used for self validation rather than auditing. Management support is essential to the effective implementation and maintenance of a process characterization system. In this manner, the

21、 manufacturer determines appropriate characteristics for each critical process node. Target values for each characteristic chosen will be determined with variability around that value to be identified, quantified, and minimized to acceptable process performance levels. These steps involve the use of

22、 various techniques (e.g., DOE, off-line data analysis, process mapping, customer request, etc.). Process characterization and capability studies shall describe the process limitations with respect to critical characteristics. Both long and short term capability studies shall be performed and docume

23、nted. Results must be substantiated by data. Process/product parameters for each node may change as process flow, process techniques, equipment, or other pertinent factors change. The expected conclusion to each clause of the characterization process is implementation of recommended actions and proc

24、ess changes. Implementation should result in tangible and measurable performance improvements, as well as identification of such things as important variables and process capabilities, that result in a controlled process.

26、ZATION GUIDELINE (From JEDEC Council Ballot JCB-97-40, formulated under the cognizance of JC-13 Committee: Government Liaison.) 1 Scope This document is applicable to any manufacturing or service process (e.g., customer service, human resources, planning). It may be conducted on part of a process or

27、 on an entire process. While many approaches to process characterization exist, this document is provided as a guideline for analyzing a process. The tools and techniques presented within this guideline are not necessarily the only ones that may be used to gain an understanding of a process. A gener

28、al flow of characterization is presented, along with guidelines for documenting, training, self assessment, and organizational responsibilities. This document provides a general methodology for the characterization of processes to achieve ongoing tangible and measurable performance improvements. 2 T

31、Process Characterization Related Documents See Annex C. JEDEC Publication No. 132 Page 2 4 General requirements A process characterization may be performed by anyone with the knowledge of the process and tools to characterize and maintain the integrity of the effort itself. It is applicable to any p

32、rocess, such as those involving equipment (as in manufacturing) or people (such as finance or human resources). The need for a process characterization is preferably determined proactively - that is, prior to a process being implemented. It can als o be applied, however, when a process has been in p

33、lace over a period of time. Process characterization may also be used as an integral part of an overall process validation. In any case, its intention is to define and reduce the variability using tools and techniques appropriate for the specific step in the characterization process. While the appro

34、ach and tools may be variable from process to process or manufacturer to manufacturer, planning the actual flow of the characterization is critical in understanding its overall implications for success or failure. For example, attempting to control a process may be futile prior to defining and optim

35、izing it. Or, a capability study may be premature if the gauge with which it is performed is inaccurate. Therefore, a careful analysis of the proposed flow of the process characterization and applicable training to personnel involved may render a more thorough and effective effort. Annex A visually

36、portrays the general flow for process characterization and 4.1 herein provides a corresponding description of each clause. Noted next to selected clauses are recommended tools, briefly described in 4.2, that may be applied at that specific point in the flow. The expected conclusion to each clause of

37、 the characterization process is implementation of recommended actions and process changes. Implementation should result in tangible and measurable performance improvements. 4.1 Description of Process Characterization Flow (Also see Annex A.) 4.1.1 Identify Process At the beginning of process charac

38、terization, the process is identified and its performance requirements are established. If these performance requirements have not been met (based on sufficient data analysis later on in the process characterization flow), process identification is reexamined. 4.1.2 Define Process Using appropriate

39、analysis tools, the elements or variables that make up a process (such as equipment, personnel, materials, environments) are identified. This should include the known inputs and desired outputs. 4.1.3 Determine Characteristics and Measurables The characteristics, including measurables, are defined a

40、nd evaluated. 4.1.4 Perform Gauge Studies Gauge studies are performed to understand and minimize the source of measurement error. 4.1.5 Collect Data Methodologies are defined and implemented for assimilation of data. JEDEC Publication No. 132 Page 3 4 General requirements (contd) 4.1 Description of

41、Process Characterization Flow (contd) 4.1.6 Characterize Process Repeatability Data is collected for a defined interval without process changes and analyzed in order to characterize and predict process repeatability. 4.1.7 Does Process Meet Requirements Process characteristics and product parameters

42、 are evaluated against short and long term requirements of the process and the business. A determination is made if sufficient data was collected, if the process is repeatable and if the proper characteristics were selected. 4.1.8 Perform Capability Study Once a process meets the requirements, an an

43、alysis to determine process capability is performed. Process capability is determined by comparing the target to the specification limits and understanding the natural variation of the process due to common causes. Cpks for the process are established at this time. 4.1.9 Is Process Acceptable Based

44、on internal needs, requirements, risk assessments, financials, and logistics, the process acceptability is determined. A determination is made whether process improvement is warranted based on the natural variation of the process. In addition, any recommended improvements are evaluated for impact to

45、 other processes and product characteristics. Forward and backward process interrelationships are established during the process as part of this decision. 4.1.10 Process Improvement Process improvement efforts are made, typically resulting in reduced variability around optimized targets. Other impro

46、vement possibilities include cost reduction, yield increase, throughput increase, and risk reduction. 4.1.11 Is Process in Control Using various process performance analysis tools, the process control status and associated limits are determined. 4.1.12 Corrective Action to Remove Special Causes If t

47、he process has been determined to be in control, variability will occur which may be attributable to natural causes or special causes. Natural causes are considered part of the chance happenstance or “noise” that occurs in processes; typically it is small in number and nature. It is addressed more t

48、horoughly in 4.1.13, “Maintenance”. Special causes, however, are assignable to unnatural, unusual, and typically large events caused by variability in machine settings, raw materials, or operator error. Special causes often drive a process out of control. When a process is identified as such, correc

49、tive action is undertaken and documented, using tools such as Problem Solving. It is imperative that the process minimize the amount of product manufactured out of control. Once special causes have been removed, the process can return to its in-control state and be maintained.
