Microfabrication at UC Berkeley College of Engineering!?? Thrilled to share that I've successfully completed EE 143, Microfabrication Technology at UC Berkeley. This course has been a transformative journey into the intricate world of #semiconductor #fabrication, and I couldn't be more excited about the skills and knowledge I've gained. Working in the #cleanroom, Atreya Petluri and I had the incredible opportunity to create our very own wafer, featuring multiple NMOS capacitors, MOSFETs, logic gates, ring oscillators, and MEMS devices. Our hands-on lab work under the guidance of Jong Ho Park involved industry-standard processes such as: ?? Photolithography ?? Etching ? Ion Implantation ?? Oxidation ??? Deposition (PVD and CVD) ?? Metallization A huge shoutout to Professor Ali Javey and Jong Ho Park for their invaluable mentorship and for providing us with deep insights into the semiconductor #industry and its #manufacturing processes. This experience has not only enhanced my technical skills but also prepared me to step confidently into the fascinating world of semiconductors. EE 143 has undoubtedly been one of the best courses I've ever taken at the University of California, Berkeley, and I'm excited to apply what I've learned in future endeavors. Here's to more innovations and breakthroughs ahead! ?? #microfabrication #technology #semiconductor #science #engineering #berkeleyengineering #knowledge #skills #future #innovation #lithography #cvd #mosfets #mems #electronics #nanotech #devices

Back to wave the flag for #UniversityPartnerships. This one, in the increasingly important area of #reskilling. University Leaders: Many of you already know that partnerships are one of THE most cost-efficient and effective ways to achieve both impact and reach goals, yet you tend to underinvest in them, in staffing, training and capital. I have read countless university strategic plans, and I can count on one hand how many include the word 'partnership'. What role do they play in yours? #Partnerships

Arizona State University has been selected by the U.S. Department of Commerce to host two new semiconductor development facilities under the National Semiconductor Technology Center and the National Advanced Packaging Manufacturing Program. Set to open by 2028 at ASU Research Park near MacroTechnology Works, these facilities will strengthen domestic semiconductor manufacturing and packaging capabilities as part of the CHIPS for America program. Kevin Hilgers, director of operations for ASU NanoFab Core Facility (https://lnkd.in/gW33paPr), highlighted the importance of packaging in semiconductor innovation, stating, “We are working with industry partners to look at packaging because that has become one of the big frontiers, that we have to figure out to make more of these faster and better and cheaper.” ASU Core Facilities are already preparing students for careers in semiconductor technology through hands-on training programs, which Hilgers describes as essential: “It’s hard to train lab work in volume. But we’ve got a lot of different programs at ASU that we are trying.” Learn more about ASU’s growing role in semiconductor research, innovation and workforce development: https://lnkd.in/g6qUCpvr #ASUCoreFacilities #ASUCores #ASUResearch #ASUEngineering #Semiconductors #CHIPSAct #AdvancedManufacturing #Innovation #ASUInnovation #Microelectronics ASU Knowledge Enterprise Natcast.org United States Department of Defense Southwest Advanced Prototyping (SWAP) Hub Ira A.

Ivy Tech certificate program aims to boost microelectronics skills : https://lnkd.in/eiDq5tei As a growing number of semiconductor companies make plans to establish operations in Indiana, an?Ivy Tech Community College?certificate could be key to ensuring that enough technicians are ready to work in the new sector. The industry needs an injection of engineers with college degrees as well as technicians with either an associate degree or on-the-job training. The country has a deficit of both and will need at least 25,000 engineers and 25,000 technicians by 2030, according to a July 2023 industry estimate cited by The White House. For example, Chicago-based NHanced Semiconductors, Inc., which has sites in Odon, does advanced packaging, which combines chips and other microelectronics parts so they can be used in devices. SK hynix will have an advanced packaging facility in West Lafayette but also plans to do semiconductor research and development with?Purdue University.
