Abstract
A response surface methodology only based in this case on computer experiments was used in conjunction with the desirability concept to optimize a priori an electrodeposition process designed for production of gold-tin alloy bumps on a 4 inches wafer. The efficiency of the method was used to achieve at a cheap cost with a small number of computer experiments the technical specifications required in term of metal deposit thickness uniformity.


Key words: Electrodeposition process / computer experiments / design of experiments / response surface methodology / desirability functions.
