VR SOP Training for Semiconductor Fabs: Wafer Fab & Advanced Packaging

Custom-built VR to embed cleanroom discipline, tool safety, and right-first-time execution

Semiconductor fabrication blends ultra-clean environments with complex, high-value equipment. Spark Emerging Technologies Ltd designs and builds bespoke VR SOP training that mirrors your exact bays, tools, and workflows—lithography, etch, deposition, CMP, wet benches, metrology, and back-end assembly/packaging—so operators practise critical steps without risking contamination or tool downtime.

Fab pain points our custom VR addresses

  • Cleanroom behaviours: gowning matrices, particulate control, and correct material/personnel flow.
  • Tool qualification: start-up/shut-down sequences, chamber conditioning, recipe selection, interlocks.
  • Wafer handling: FOUP/SMIF transfers, ESD control, alignment and mapping, breakage prevention.
  • Chemical safety: acids/solvents at wet benches, exhaust/LEL monitoring, emergency rinses and neutralisation.
  • OEE impacts: micro-stoppages, mis-set recipes, aborted lots, and scrap escalation.

How a bespoke VR build works

  1. Discovery: capture SOPs, tool manuals, interlock logic, AMHS/stockers, and cleanroom zoning.
  2. Scenario design: resist coat/expose/develop, chamber cleans, target/precursor changes, PM tasks.
  3. AI avatar coaching: guides operators through hold points, parameter limits, and ESD checks.
  4. Assessment & data: right-first-time steps, time-to-stable-state, excursion response, contamination touches.
  5. Integration: LMS connectivity, multilingual modules, role-specific paths for operators/techs/ME.

Operational outcomes

  • Reduced contamination and wafer damage through practised handling and zoning.
  • Fewer recipe and set-up errors; improved chamber uptime and yield.
  • Faster, safer onboarding of new hires at scale.
  • Audit-ready competence records for customers and regulators.

Why Spark

We don’t sell off-the-shelf courses. We build a training twin of your fab—tools, flows, signage, and language—so learning transfers directly to the floor.
