Understanding Semiconductor Technology and Business: Virtual Training, Americas (SEMI University)

Time

7:30 am – 3:00 pm PDT

Course Description

The first part of the course provides a brief overview of semiconductor design and fabrication steps, encompassing IC design techniques, all wafer processing steps, assembly, and packaging. It delves into semiconductor jargon in laypeople terms, and various substrate types such as Si, SiGe, FDSOI, GaAs, SiC, GaN. Additionally, it discusses different types of transistors like pMOS, nMOS, Bipolar, BiCMOS, CMOS, FinFets, and GAA and their evolution and what applications they are used in.

The second part of the course focuses on semiconductor business aspects such as silicon economics, wafer processing costs, semiconductor revenue forecasts, driving forces in the industry, top semiconductor IDMs, market competitors based on market share, OEMs, foundries, top tool vendors, and Fabless companies.  Addresses the fastest-growing semiconductor markets based on geographic locations and applications, identifies semiconductor competitors/customers, and discusses major semiconductor markets like Automotive, PC, Mobile, Memory, Wireless, Cell phones, Consumer, Gaming, AI, IoT, Digital TV, Radio, Automotive, MEMS, and Emerging Technology & Impact on Industry.
