Study the materials and methods used to manufacture semiconductor chips. By successfully completing your Semiconductor Manufacturing Minor, you can add this knowledge to your existing major.
The Semiconductor Manufacturing Minor pairs particularly well with our B.S. Computer & Electrical Engineering, B.S. Manufacturing Engineering and Plastics Engineering degrees. It also provides a strong complement for students pursuing their B.S. Applied Mathematics & Computer Science, B.S. Chemistry, B.S. Computer Science or B.S. Physics.
Program Overview
Program Objectives
- Describe fundamental processes associated with very large scale integrated circuit (VLSI) manufacturing
- Describe and/or determine causes of degradation and/or failure in VLSI materials and systems during manufacture or use
- Describe and/or determine appropriate characterization methods for VLSI products during manufacturing
- Apply knowledge of materials properties during the research, development and manufacturing of VLSI products
