Microelectronics school training courses in Boston, MA (public, in-house or online)

This laboratory course explores the concepts of nanotechnology through classic nanofabrication and nano-analysis. Through nanofabrication we introduce two approaches to fabricate nanoscale devices and materials: bottom-up nanofabrication and top-down nanofabrication. Bottom-up fabrication forms device structures directly from mechanisms of material growth such as atomic layer deposition methods. Top-down nanofabrication produces nanometre scale devices from bulk materials by lithography techniqu...

This course introduces students to the rapidly emerging, multidisciplinary, and exciting field of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). It teaches fundamentals of micro- and nanofabrication techniques, including hard and soft lithography techniques, thin-film fabrication, and etching techniques. Other topics include methods and tools for imaging submicron structures and devices. Applications of MEMS technologies and related BioMEMS are discussed. Local students use research fabrication facili...

This course material covers test methodologies for ICs. It includes information on digital testing, current testing, and timing tests. All three are useful to help localize defects and other problems on circuits prior to shipping them to the customer.

Test Process Basics

Test process basics provides an overview of the test process and how defect-based test fits into it. This section covers the development of the test set from design through to production and the various components ...
