The first part of this course provides a brief overview of semiconductor design and fabrication steps, encompassing IC design techniques, all wafer processing steps, assembly and packaging. It delves into semiconductor jargon in lay people terms, and various substrate types such as Si, SiGe, FDSOI, GaAs, SIC GaN. Additionally, it discusses different types of transistors like pMOS, nMOS, Bipolar, BiCMOS, CMOS, FinFets, and GAA and their evolution and what applications they are used in.

The second part of the course focuses on semiconductor business aspects such as silicon economics, wafer processing costs, semiconductor revenue forecasts, driving forces in the industry, top semiconductor IDMs, market competitors based on market share, OEMs, foundries, top tool vendors, and Fabless companies. It addresses the fastest-growing semiconductor markets like automotive, PC, mobile, memory, wireless, cell phones, consumer, gaming, AI, IoT, digital TV, radio, MEMBS, and emerging technologies and their impact on the industry. 

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the fundamental principles and theories associated with semiconductor technology. 
• Communicate with other associates and understand the wafer processing steps.
