Wafer fabrication and process engineering
Build knowledge of the individual steps used to form, pattern, remove, and planarize semiconductor materials. Compare the course outlines to focus on the processes relevant to your role.
Semiconductor workforce development
Semiconductor manufacturing training
Find the right starting point in wafer fabrication, process engineering, equipment, packaging, and yield. PT International offers focused technical courses for professionals and corporate teams.
Choose training around the work you do
A new employee learning the fabrication process needs a different starting point from an engineer investigating a specific process or equipment issue. Use the paths below to compare course scope, then review the full outline before choosing a program.
For a broad introduction, start with Overview of Semiconductor Manufacturing. It connects device physics, crystal growth, wafer preparation, circuit layout, and wafer processing. For a less technical introduction, explore IC Design & Fabrication for Non-Techies.
Training paths through the manufacturing process
Equipment and fab operations
Explore the systems that support semiconductor processing, from vacuum and gas-flow control to RF power. Pair equipment study with training relevant to reliability and fab safety.
Packaging and integration
Follow the transition from processed wafers to packaged devices. Review introductory assembly topics or focus on a specific packaging and interconnection approach.
Measurement, test, and yield
Connect manufacturing processes with the methods used to measure performance, investigate defects, and improve process understanding.
Public courses or a program for your team
Check the public training schedule for announced seminars and live online sessions. Dates, locations, formats, and registration details vary by course. A catalog listing describes the curriculum; it does not mean a public session is currently scheduled.
For a group with shared objectives, explore onsite semiconductor training. PTI can discuss course selection, technical level, and delivery around your team's needs. Share the subjects, roles, location, and preferred timing when you contact us.
Semiconductor education since 1978
PT International was founded by Denny Frye and focuses on semiconductor and electronics education. SEMI University also lists PT International as its onsite training partner; read about the partnership at SEMI.
Questions about choosing manufacturing training
Where should a beginner start?
Compare the manufacturing overview with IC Design & Fabrication for Non-Techies. The first follows the manufacturing process; the second is intended as a less technical introduction. PTI can help match an outline to your background.
Can I focus on one manufacturing process?
Yes. The catalog includes focused subjects such as ALD, CVD, plasma etching, CMP, ion implantation, and EUV. Each linked course page describes its own scope.
Is every course available online?
Availability and delivery format vary. Use the public schedule for announced online sessions, or contact PTI to discuss a program for your team.
