The Certificate of Achievement in Semiconductor Processing provides foundational knowledge and skills necessary for safely and efficiently moving wafers through the semiconductor processing stages in a cleanroom work environment. This certificate is open to all students with an interest in learning more about semiconductor processing. Students in the apprenticeship pathway will complete the Certificate of Achievement as a part of the apprenticeship program.
We expect there to initially be 20 students getting the certificate of achievement in the first year. The program scheduling will be based on the needs of industry employers and the program is expected to grow to 35 students based on the number of semiconductor process technician jobs available in a given year. Additionally, the courses, and subsequently the certificate, will be available to students who are interested, but not yet accepted into the apprenticeship program.
Several years down the line, this program is expected to support hundreds of students a year in order to supply the local semiconductor manufacturing industry with process technicians, as both the industry grows and the current technicians move into more advanced roles.
The Certificate of Achievement in Semiconductor Processing would provide foundational knowledge in semiconductor processing, including the basic operations of clean room manufacturing and the math and maintenance skills needed to succeed as a process technician. The certificate is an integral part of the apprenticeship pathway for semiconductor process technicians.
Program Learning Outcomes:
· Students will be able to safely navigate a cleanroom work environment.
· Students will be prepared to move wafers through the processing steps.
· Students will be able to troubleshoot processing issues as they arise and formulate a plan for the next steps in addressing them.
· Students will be prepared for a career in semiconductor processing.
Students are required to take three classes:
Math 40A- Quantitative Reasoning
Engineering 61A Introduction to Semiconductor Technology
Engineering 101A Advanced Manufacturing
