Courses and Academic Structure

 

Each Summer Institute combines academic coursework with applied learning experiences to provide participants with both technical knowledge and hands-on exposure to semiconductor manufacturing environments.

Participants complete two 91ÖÆƬ³§ courses aligned with the focus and academic level of their selected institute.

 

 

Which Institute Is Right for You?

91ÖÆƬ³§ offers two Summer Institutes designed for learners at different stages of their academic and technical development. The primary factor in choosing the right institute is whether you are looking for an introductory experience in semiconductor technology or are ready for more advanced fabrication and manufacturing coursework.
