Courses
1) A one-day basic course is developed for those who work in the non-technical disciplines of semiconductors, e.g. management, marketing and sales, or software development. It is ideal for people with little or no technical background in integrated circuits, but who need an understanding of their complexity, their operation, their possibilities and limitations to better communicate with their technical contacts.
2) A 3-day course is developed as a comprehensive tutorial on state-of-the-art CMOS ICs for product, test and failure analysis engineers; process engineers and those who have to write and read product specifications, test samples, discuss technical details with suppliers and customers, etc. and others who need an thorough understanding of chip development. Level: Technical college or university level.
3) A 4-day course is available for IC designers who need a thorough understanding of CMOS Integrated circuits, from physics, through processing, layout, test, performance and reliability to applications.
One-day course
General info
This course runs from 08:30 to approximately 17:30, and may occasionally continue until 18:00.
The course is specifically designed as a comprehensive introduction to integrated circuits, or chips, for people working in non-technical areas of the semiconductor industry, such as management, marketing and sales, logistics, IT, software development, and related disciplines. These professionals are increasingly confronted with semiconductor terminology and abbreviations but often lack the technical background needed to fully understand discussions with colleagues, customers, and suppliers. A basic understanding of integrated circuits, their operation, capabilities, and limitations helps participants communicate more effectively with technical specialists and place their own role within a broader semiconductor context.
Three-day course
General info
This course runs from 08:30 to approximately 17:30, and may occasionally continue until 18:00. It includes several exercises during the day, but there is no final examination. At the end of the course, participants receive an official certificate.
The course is designed as a comprehensive tutorial on selected topics in state-of-the-art CMOS integrated circuits for engineers working in R&D centers of semiconductor lithography and fabrication companies, such as ASML, Applied Materials, TSMC, GlobalFoundries, Samsung, and Micron Technology.
Four-day course
General info
This course runs from 08:30 to approximately 17:30, and may occasionally continue until 18:00. It includes exercises during the day as well as in the evening. At the end of the course, participants can receive an official certificate.
The course is aimed at system and IC designers, CMOS process engineers, engineers working in IC simulation, verification, testing, reliability, and design methods, as well as engineers involved in electronic product development and others who need a thorough understanding of the complete development chain of CMOS integrated circuits and products.
