Introduction to Semiconductor Manufacturing

Catalog description

Students are introduced to semiconductor materials, technology, fabrication process, and manufacturing industry. Each of the major processing steps from silicon wafer production to final packaging is touched on to allow students to understand the complexity of the manufacturing flow. Emphasis is placed on the components of a modern fabrication facility including modules on lithography, etching, doping, and metallization. Students gain hands-on experience in clean room protocols, safety, and chemical hygiene.
