Mission
This course trains and prepares you in the Microelectronics field for the place of work in the semiconductor industries. The curriculum is specially designed to include Integrated Circuit (IC) chip design and layout, IC chip making or wafer fabrication technology, IC chip packaging process, IC chip test engineering, IC chip failure analysis and reliability. Specific niche technologies such as , nanotechnology, display technology, cleanroom equipment & vacuum technology and material sciences will also be covered.
About The Course (JAE Code: T05)
This course provides you with a strong foundation in the electronics and microelectonics disciplines. The first year of the course is common with the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Programme and the first year first semester of the course is common with the Common Engineering Programme.
Apart from the core electronics subjects, the second and third year of the course will focus on the following specific microelectronics technology areas:
1. Integrated Circuit (IC) Design & Layout
Design, simulation and layout of both digital and analogue ICs using industry standard Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software. Subjects in this area includes Digital IC Design & Applications, Analogue IC Design & Applications and IC Layout & Physical Design.
2. Wafer Fabrication Technology
Fabrication of semiconductor devices and sensors using in-house class 100 cleanroom equipment. Subjects in this area include Semiconductor Physics & Devices, Wafer Fabrication Process Technology, IC Process Integration and Cleanroom Equipment & Technology.
3. IC Packaging & Test
Packaging and testing of ICs using sophisticated Failure Analysis (FA), Packaging and Test equipment including Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Automatic Test Systems (ATS). Subjects in this area include Microelectronics Test and Measurement and IC Packaging & Failure Analysis.
4. Niche Technology Electives
Exploration of emerging industry trends and technologies, including Nanotechnology, Display Technology and Materials Science.
5. Clean Energy Technologies
Solar Cell Technology, in particular Dye-Sensitive Solar Cell (DSSC) and Fuel Cell Technology whch are closely related to Microelectronics. These clean energy technologies are explored as major projects in the final year.
