Abstract

Semiconductor deposition equipment is an important example of Complex Products and Systems (CoPS) and requires in-depth understanding of user requirements. For this reason, we analyzed and compared users' and producers' perspectives on the quality attributes of semiconductor deposition equipment using the Kano model. The results show that the patterns of users' perspectives were different from those of producers. Out of 22 level-2 quality attributes, producers evaluated all 22 attributes as attractive qualities, but users evaluated only 6 as "attractive," 10 as "indifferent," 2 as "must have," and 4 as "other." Although all quality attributes were attractive for producers, only those related to reliability were attractive or must-have qualities, and all others were "indifferent." This result implies that the perspectives on quality attributes may be different between users and producers, and producers should revise their perspectives and strategies. In addition, the results support the characteristics of CoPS suggested by literature implying that performance is more important than economies of scale and cost reduction. It is suggested that producers of semiconductor deposition equipment strategize their approaches to users by considering the characteristics of CoPS.

반도체 증착장비는 일반적인 대량생산 제품과는 차별화되는 특징을 보이는 복합제품시스템(CoPS)의 주요 예시 중 하나로, 사용자 요구에 대한 충실한 이해가 필수적이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 Kano 모델을 활용하여 증착장비의 품질속성에 대한 사용자와 생산자의 만족 특성을 비교분석하고자 하였다. 사용자 및 생산자 기업의 엔지니어와 관리자들을 대상으로 Kano 설문을 수행하고 분석한 결과, 사용자 측과 생산자 측의 품질 만족 특성이 다르게 나타났다. 총 22개의 소분류 품질속성 가운데, 제조사 측은 22개 모두에 대해 매력적(A) 품질속성으로 평가한 반면, 사용자 측에서는 A 6개, 무관심(I) 10개, 당연적(M) 2개, 기타 경계치값 2개 등으로 평가하여 큰 차이를 보였다. 특히 제조사 측에서는 생산성능, 신뢰성, 편의성, 가격 및 원가 모두에 대해 매력적(A) 품질속성으로 평가한 반면, 사용자 측에서는 신뢰성에 대해서만 매력적 또는 당연적(M)으로 평가하고 나머지는 무관심(I)으로 평가하는 경우가 많았다. 이러한 결과는 이 분야 사용자와 생산자 간 품질속성에 대한 인식이 다르게 나타나고 있으며, 이에 대한 개선 및 전략적 활용의 필요성이 있음을 시사한다. 또한 상기의 결과는 CoPS는 규모의 경제와 비용절감보다는 제품 자체의 성능이 중요함을 시사한다. 따라서 증착장비 제조사들은 복합제품시스템의 특징을 반영한 혁신전략을 마련할 필요가 있다.
