BERKELEY, CALIF. (April 8) BUSINESS WIRE -April 8, 1999--Constant advances in the semiconductor industry make it difficult for even experienced engineers to keep up with new technologies.
Nontechnical professionals often enter this rapidly changing industry without complete knowledge of the processing technologies that are standard in the field. This spring, UC Berkeley Extension will offer "The ABCs of Semiconductor Fabrication," a two-day course designed to describe the basic processes and provide a working vocabulary for those who need to get "up-to-speed."
The course will take place on two Saturdays, May 15 and 22, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the UC Berkeley Extension Fremont Center, 47655-B Warm Springs Blvd., Fremont. The fee is $895. For more information or a detailed brochure, call 510/642-4151. To enroll, call 510/642-4111, or visit Extension's Web site and enroll online at www.berkeley.edu/unex.
The course will describe, in simple terms, the major fabrication processes for integrated devices. It is intended for nontechnical individuals associated with the semiconductor industry, such as those working in sales, marketing and administration, as well as engineers, process technicians patent attorneys and line operators who wish to learn the fundamentals of fabrication.
Instructor Mark Lancaster, M.S., a process engineer at Hewlett-Packard, will begin with a general review of the basic concepts of physics and chemistry as they relate to fabrication technology, followed by a discussion of semiconductor processes. By the end of the course, participants will understand the basic processes required to fabricate integrated devices, grasp the basic vocabulary and have an overview of the devices used as the building blocks for integrated circuits.
This course is part of UC Berkeley Extension's Continuing Education in Engineering series of "ABCs" courses. These courses are designed to provide nontechnical professionals with a basic understanding of the complicated processes and technologies associated with their industries. For more information on the ABCs courses, call UC Berkeley Extension Continuing Education in Engineering department at 510/642-4151.
