Modeling, IC Processes and Emerging Microtechnology

This course presents a powerful design tool, overall fabrication process flows and emerging trends in the Micro technology industry. Finite Element Analysis is a computational tool that design teams use to build models and simulate parts or whole systems. FEA has been introduced with the high business impact use cases, and theoretical background. Integrated CPU (computational processor unit) fabrication flow and its evolution over the past decades is covered. Finally, emerging technologies and trends in both compute processor chips and MEMS are presented. This course is part of the Semiconduc…
