Simulating Manufacture of Epitaxy Wafers and Chips: E-Learning for Employees of a LCD Enterprise

This article describes the application of an e-learning system on the trainings of new employees in a LCD(Light Emitting Diode) enterprise. An international LCD chips manufacturing company regularly recruit and train new employees. Among the training content, the manufacturing process of epitaxy wafers to chips is abstract and difficult to understand, particular for those without engineering backgrounds. To make the training activities effective, the authors designed e-learning courseware with simulations of manufacturing processes. These web-based learning materials can be accessed before or after the training session. An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of this e-learning system. The results revealed that this e-learning system significantly improved the learners content comprehension.
