In this engaging two-hour Masterclass organized by SEMI, we explore the groundbreaking role of magnetic materials, particularly magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), in biomedical fields. The session commences with an in-depth review of the physics and synthesis of MNPs, including comprehensive discussions on fundamental theories, synthesis methods, and advanced MNP surface functionalization strategies. Attendees will gain insights into the characterization techniques used to analyze the physicochemical properties of MNPs.

The Masterclass transitions to the applications of MNPs in therapeutic and diagnostic contexts. We will review cutting-edge MNP-based therapies, such as magnetic hyperthermia therapy, targeted drug and gene delivery, and magnetic neurostimulation. In addition, we will discuss various MNP-based diagnostic techniques, including magnetoresistive (MR) sensing, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), magnetic particle spectroscopy (MPS), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and magnetic particle imaging (MPI). A critical focus of this Masterclass will be on safety and biocompatibility issues associated with the use of MNPs in vivo, examining the toxicity of MNPs, immune responses, and their circulation time in the human body.

The latter part of the session will introduce participants to the innovative field of micromagnetic neural stimulation, an infant yet extremely promising field. We will delve into the design and efficacy of micromagnetic devices, such as the Magnetic Pen (MagPen) and Magnetic Patch (MagPatch) Array, which utilize micrometer-sized coils (μcoils) for targeted neural activation. This is particularly for patients with spinal cord injuries (SCI) and for reducing opioid dependency, with insights drawn from current research supported by the NIH Blueprint Medtech Program. By the end of the Masterclass, attendees will have a comprehensive understanding of the potential clinical applications of MNPs and MEMs-based micromagnetic neurostimulators.

Innovative Lab to Fab Semiconductor Processes: Advancing sensing, smart manufacturing, and biomedical applications

Emerging MEMS and sensor technologies demand both advanced process capabilities and robust pathways to volume manufacturing. NOEL Technologies, a Silicon Valley MEMS foundry, brings decades of expertise in microfabrication – from state-of-the-art lithography and deep etching to thin-film deposition and multi-layer integration. Its versatile fabrication facility supports wafer diameters ranging from 50 mm up to 300 mm, enabling prototyping on small substrates as well as scale-up to full 300 mm production. NOEL’s engineers excel at integrating novel materials and processes to create structures that often lack a conventional manufacturing path, while handling complex builds with multiple mask layers with both wet and plasma etching of silicon, dielectrics, and metals. Through a proven “Lab-to-Fab” approach, NOEL serves as a vital bridge from R&D to high-volume fabrication, accelerating the transition of innovative designs from the laboratory to the fab floor.

Recent collaboration through Pure Wafer’s acquisition of NOEL Technologies has further expanded these capabilities. Pure Wafer, a leading U.S. provider of high-purity silicon wafer solutions, adds in-house supply of prime silicon substrates (50 mm–300 mm) and an extensive portfolio of exotic dielectric and metal thin films. By coupling NOEL’s proprietary MEMS processes with Pure Wafer’s materials expertise, the combined team delivers a “complete silicon solution” that enhances device performance and yield for next-generation sensors. This synergy is enabling cutting-edge sensor technologies in IoT, biomedical, and industrial applications, supported by faster prototyping cycles and a streamlined path to market. Equally important, the integration provides key business advantages – from cost efficiencies via comprehensive on-shore services (e.g., wafer reclaim and reuse) to improved supply chain resilience through a domestic source for critical materials and fabrication.

This presentation will showcase how the NOEL–Pure Wafer partnership supports next-generation sensor innovation in alignment with the key industry tracks driving future advancements in IoT, Intelligent Sensing, Advanced embedded system Technologies, Multi-Sensor capabilities, Smart Manufacturing, and biomedical applications. By leveraging Pure Wafer and NOEL Technologies' expertise, MEMS and sensor innovators can achieve superior device performance, faster prototyping, and scalable production solutions. This collaboration is paving the way for next-generation innovative sensing solutions that drive technological breakthroughs across industries.

Highlighted content

The chips powering today’s cell phones, cars, computers, and more can contain billions of transistors. Designing these chips requires a team of engineers with expertise in various aspects of the design flow, along with Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools that are needed to implement and verify these complex designs.

This Master Class is intended for non-technical staff that wish to understand the basics of semiconductor chip design. It provides an appreciation of the complex design flows and an understanding of some of the terminology used by chip design teams.

For students, the course will introduce some of the rewarding challenges and career opportunities available in the design and EDA industries.

In this class we will cover basic information about digital chips, then introduce some of the key steps and tools used during the design flow. We will also discuss some of the tradeoffs of different implementation methodologies and some of the challenges presented by various critical applications such as devices used in medical and automotive systems.
