As a professional already working in the semiconductor industry, earning a Certificate of Graduate Study in Semiconductor Manufacturing at UAlbany will enhance your knowledge, skills and career. In this part-time program, you will learn crucial aspects of the semiconductor and microelectronics manufacturing process, including the impacts of failing to meet design criteria at each stage. Our advanced facilities and coursework supplemented with real-world manufacturing data will help you develop a robust skillset. You’ll graduate well positioned to advance professionally on your chosen technical track. This certificate can be completed entirely online. Through coursework and hands-on research, the Graduate Certificate in Semiconductor Manufacturing provides a comprehensive overview of the semiconductor and microelectronics manufacturing process, beginning with the materials science of materials used in microelectronics manufacturing, microelectronic device architecture and operation, wafer processing and patterning technologies, quality control, and device performance and reliability. You will gain an understanding of the design and operating principles of semiconductor devices, the general principles of the processing and lithographic technologies used in the fabrication of microelectronic devices, and the considerations for integrating the fabrication steps into a manufacturing process flow. Required Courses Choose three courses from the following: - Principles of Materials Nanoengineering - Integrated Circuit Manufacturing - Semiconductor Process Integration - Principles of Reliability for Semiconductor and Nanoscale Applications
