Effective Brainstorming

intro image

Brainstorming is widely embraced as a creative tool for problem-solving. In its simplest form, unstructured brainstorming involves collecting diverse ideas or tasks for assessment. The more ideas, the greater the chance of finding the correct or most effective solution. However, it is crucial to rank and prioritize these ideas to achieve swift results.

Effective Brainstorming (EBS) within the PRIZ Innovation Platform introduces additional steps to enhance the process. These steps involve logical grouping and priority management.

What can you gain from Effective Brainstorming (EBS)?

Effective Brainstorming serves as a powerful tool for enhancing teamwork, problem-solving, and idea generation. EBS stimulates creative thinking and encourages rational analysis of the generated ideas. It offers a direct pathway for grouping and prioritizing ideas.

Explore the following scenarios where you and your team can leverage the advantages of Effective Brainstorming:

  • Facilitating swift and efficient teamwork.
  • Visualizing and effectively prioritizing ideas.
  • Transitioning from guesswork to thoughtful problem-solving.
  • Enhancing understanding of systems, problems, and the analysis of potential solutions.

When to Use Effective Brainstorming

Effective Brainstorming (EBS) serves as a powerful alternative to traditional, unguided brainstorming methods that often result in mere speculation and reliance on a voting system for generated ideas. EBS, on the other hand, encourages teams to engage in creative thinking, enabling the ranking of ideas and informed decision-making.

Here are some situations where EBS proves its value:

  • When there is an urgent need for containment or a solution.
  • When leveraging past experience to generate solutions and ideas.
  • In situations that require effective organized teamwork.
  • To enhance understanding of a system and a problem while refining problem-solving skills.

While these scenarios highlight its effectiveness, the EBS approach can be adapted to various other contexts, positioning itself as a vital tool for innovative problem-solving.

SiO2 thin film creation in Diffusion furnace - Process Functional Modeling

The process is related to microelectronics - microchip manufacturing.The purpose of the process is to create a SiO2 layer on the surface of a Si wafer. Equipment: Vertical furnace to heat the wafers in the Q2 atmosphere and perform oxidation on the wafer surface. Process: The oxidation occurs on the front side and on the back side of the wafer Requirements: Create a SiO2 thin layer with a certain thickness and low sigma - low standard deviation of the thickness between the wafers and within the waferFailure: Wafers from the lower zone have higher thickness and significantly higher within wafer sigma (standard deviation of the thickness within the wafer)

Recycling waste of solar panels.students: Alaa & saed

Excited to share our latest project at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev! 🚀 We tackled the pressing issue of solar panel waste and explored innovative recycling solutions to make solar energy truly sustainable.Key insights:Solar panel waste could hit 78 million metric tons by 2050. Only 10% of panels are currently recycled in the EU. Our project highlights the need for efficient recycling technologies, better regulations, and economic incentives to drive sustainable practices.Let’s work together for a greener future! 🌱

Wafer cleaning issues at the wet process

Wet cleaning is widely used in microchip manufacturing. Single wafer equipment is working as follows. A wafer rotates, and chemistry is poured from a movable nozzle. Water rinsing is performed at the end of the process. Loading of a new batch of the chemistry resulted in excursion - a strongly increased amount of defects was observed on the wafer after the processing. The project is dedicated to the failure analysis and creation of innovative solutions.

Magnetic PDMS micro-pillars

In past decades, polymeric micropillar devices have gained a great deal of attention in micro and nano technology research as the result of their potential and practical usage in many applications. This project is going to deal with the process of how to fabricate the magnetic micropillars, from the beginning – the planning and design, improving the existing process, lithography to create the base silicon mold and then creating the PDMS pillars that contains nano magnetic particles of Fe_3 O_4, the process today is not efficient enough in terms of cost and time and we are wishing to improve it, in the end we will have a device with micro-pillars that can move correspondingly to external magnetic field which will help us to do many advanced experiments in the biology field like using the device for cell stimulation.
