OVERVIEW of ME IN MICROELECTRONIC MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING

The master of engineering in microelectronic manufacturing engineering provides a broad-based education for students with a bachelor’s degree in traditional engineering or other science disciplines who are interested in a career in the semiconductor industry. This 30 credit hour program is awarded upon the successful completion of six core courses, two elective courses, a research methods course, and an internship. Under certain circumstances, a student may be required to complete more than the minimum number of credits.

Program outcomes

After completing the program, students will be able to:

• Design and understand a sequence of processing steps to fabricate a solid state device to meet a set of geometric, electrical, and/or processing parameters.
• Analyze experimental electrical data from a solid state device to extract performance parameters for comparison to modeling parameters used in the device design.
• Understand current lithographic materials, processes, and systems to meet imaging and/or device patterning requirements.
• Understand the relevance of a process or device, either proposed or existing, to current manufacturing practices.
• Perform in a microelectronic engineering environment, as evidenced by an internship.
• Appreciate the areas of specialty in the field of microelectronics, such as device engineering, circuit design, lithography, materials and processes, and yield and manufacturing.
