SHORT COURSES
Hybrid Microelectronics: This five day course provides a hands-on discussion of thick
film, thin film and cofired ceramic substrate technologies, bare semiconductor assembly
and packaging methods and surface mount technology. The students fabricated a pulse
generator using thick film, chip-and-wire technology as part of the course.
Semiconductor Fabrication: This five-day course covers the basic semiconductor
fabrication processes and materials. In the laboratory, the students fabricate N-MOS
