Understanding Semiconductor Technology and Business
The first part of the course covers a short overview of semiconductor design and fabrication steps such as IC design techniques,
wafer processing, assembly and packaging. Semiconductor jargon such as process nodes, high and low-k materials, etc.
The second part of course covers semiconductor business such as silicon economics, wafer processing cost, semiconductor
revenue forecast, semiconductor driving forces, top semiconductor IDMs, semiconductor competitors based on market share,
OEMs, foundries, top tool vendors.
The course will discuss semiconductor markets such as PC, memory, wireless, handsets, consumer electronics, automotive,
gaming, displays, digital TV, analog, discretes, MEMS and optoelectronics. Will also cover the fastest semiconductor growth
markets based on geographic locations and applications.
