Course Description
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to semiconductor manufacturing, guiding participants through the complete journey from silicon fundamentals to chip fabrication and packaging. Designed for professionals new to the semiconductor industry, the course explains key concepts, terminology, devices, and manufacturing processes used in modern fabs.
This course is divided into four modules, enabling a progressive learning experience that builds from fundamentals to manufacturing execution. Participants will gain a clear understanding of how chips are made, the role of transistors, and the steps involved in front-end manufacturing, followed by back-end assembly and packaging processes. The course also introduces the broader semiconductor ecosystem, including supply chain players, helping learners connect technical fundamentals with real-world manufacturing practices.
Who Should Attend
This course is designed for sales and marketing professionals, as well as new employees, students, and anyone interested in gaining a knowledge about semiconductor manufacturing.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of the course, participants should be able to:
- Explain fundamental semiconductor concepts, including silicon materials, doping, PN junctions, and basic device behavior.
- Identify and correctly use common semiconductor manufacturing terminology.
- Outline the key steps involved in front-end wafer fabrication, from bare silicon to patterned wafers.
- Summarize back-end manufacturing processes, including assembly, packaging, and testing.
Topics Included
Module 1: Semiconductor Fundamentals
Introduces semiconductor basics, silicon materials, doping PN junctions, and core device concepts, building a foundation for understanding how electronic devices function.
Module 2: Semiconductor Terminologies and Manufacturing Context
Covers essential semiconductor terminology, cleanroom concepts, supply chain players, process nodes, and packaging to help learners navigate manufacturing discussions with confidence.
Module 3: Front-end and Back-end Semiconductor Manufacturing
