A new partnership involving Arizona State University and a semiconductor manufacturing association aims to expand access to on-demand training in semiconductor technology.
ASU is collaborating with SEMI, an industry association. The goal behind the collaboration is to provide high quality learning experiences to university students and early-career professionals. The partnership comes as Arizona continues to move forward in the semiconductor industry.
Octavio Heredia is a director at ASU’s engineering school.
“I think the state of Arizona has really become an ecosystem, a critical ecosystem in the semiconductor microelectronic space from education, from research and really advancing the industry in general," he said.
Naresh Naik is the director of SEMI University, which is providing the training.
“So the students who are very much new and get to know about semiconductor industry, they can learn a lot of basic knowledge about the chip design, how the chips are made, what's the manufacturing process," he said.
While the courses are not credit-eligible, participants will receive a certificate of completion. According to Heredia, the online courses were developed by ASU instructors.
