Overview

Participants will have the foundational knowledge to apply for entry-level positions in the semiconductor packaging industry following the completion of the program.

The packaging certificate program will be 10 weeks and will include 30 sessions of online lectures, and 10 sessions of virtual lab demonstrations. The course consists of 3 primary modules.

  • Fundamental concepts, basic semiconductor die, contacts and interconnects
  • Through-hole and surface-mount packaging
  • Chip-scale and advanced packaging

Each module will emphasize the trade-offs associated with different packaging technologies, based on electrical, thermal, and physical performance requirements, and will be accompanied by related virtual laboratory demonstrations.
