Cleanroom Fundamentals & Semiconductor Technologies

This entry-level online course offers a brief overview of silicon-based semiconductor fabrication, geared toward engineering undergraduates, graduate students, and pre-college learners exploring career paths in the semiconductor field. No prior experience is required. Students receive an introduction to cleanroom facilities and the environment in which microfabrication takes place. They will then apply their knowledge in a hands-on virtual lab that walks you through University at Buffalo's Davis Hall Cleanroom (among the most advanced in the region) that demonstrates the core processes of Photolithography and Etching

• Work effectively in semiconductor cleanrooms emphasizing cleanliness and safety
• Learn fabrication techniques like photolithography and etching
• Apply knowledge through hands-on virtual labs demonstrating core processes

• Basic computer and internet skills
• Ability to read English instructions and complete practice activities
