ABOUT PROGRAM


Program Objective

The program will create a cadre of 60000 engineers with employable skills for the semiconductor industry. The program will deliver training at scale using SEMulator3D®, an advanced EDA simulation platform from Lam Research. The program is being funded by the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM, https://ism.gov.in/) and the Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY, https://www.meity.gov.in/). Lam Research India is donating licenses. The program is being managed and executed by the Centre for Nanoscience and Engineering (CeNSE), Indian Institute of Science (IISc). This course is an unprecedented joint effort between industry and academia to create industry-relevant course content.

Program Execution

  • The program is being executed in a “train-the-trainers” model. IISc will train the faculty from reputed UG and PG engineering colleges across India. The trained faculty will be expected to launch new courses in their respective institutes. Lam Research India will donate the SEMulator3D licenses for these new courses.
  • Target audience: Faculty from engineering schools so they can launch new courses on process technology in their respective institutes.
  • Format: 1-month session with two weeks of hands-on fabrication and characterisation training at CeNSE, IISc and two weeks of exposure to SEMUlator3D teaching material.

ABOUT SEMulator3D

SEMulator3D® is an industry-standard simulator that can impart training in semiconductor technology. The computing infrastructure needed is minimal and available at most institutes, so training can be rapidly scaled up. The training is suitable for students from diverse engineering backgrounds. While no simulator can replace hands-on experience, SEMulator3D® can take us 80% of the way. Internal industry training can manage the rest.

SEMulator3D® is a semiconductor process modeling platform that offers wide ranging technology development capabilities. Based on highly efficient physics-driven voxel modeling technology, SEMulator3D has a unique ability to model complete process flows. Starting from input design data, SEMulator3D follows an integrated process flow description to create the virtual equivalent of the complex, 3D structures created in the fab.SEMulator3D process modeling and analysis is used for fast and accurate “virtual fabrication” of advanced nano-fabrication processes, allowing engineers to understand manufacturing effects early in the development process and reduce time-consuming and costly silicon learning cycles.
