Advanced Semiconductor Processes
AY2025/2026 Semester 1
The semiconductor industry is the backbone of Singapore's electronics manufacturing output, contributing almost 7% of the GDP. In addition, the upcoming Artificial Intelligence (AI) trends will drive an exponential growth in memory and storage semiconductors required to analyze the large amounts of data. The objective of this course is to introduce students to the memory and storage semiconductor industry. By the end of the course, they should understand and be able to describe the critical key processes in a semiconductor manufacturing plant. They will be able to understand how different processes integrate to fabricate the end-product chip. Students will also be able to perform impact assessment to optimize the scalability and cost competitiveness for processes. They will be able to apply Quality Management to meet stringent customer requirements and be introduced to Quality Certifications in the industry. Students will also be exposed to state-of-the-art smart manufacturing technologies employed in the plant. Finally, they will also be informed of sustainable practices employed, and discuss the current and future trends of the industry.
