About


The Centre for Nano Science and Engineering (CeNSE) at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) is excited to introduce a groundbreaking program to equip individuals with industry-relevant skills in semiconductor technology. This initiative is designed to address the growing demand for a skilled workforce in the rapidly expanding semiconductor industry.

As India emerges as a global hub for semiconductor manufacturing and packaging, driven by initiatives like the India Semiconductor Mission, the need for highly trained professionals has never been greater. Industry projections highlight a requirement of over 30,000 skilled personnel by 2027 and 65,000 by 2032. This program is designed to meet this demand by offering cutting-edge training and insights into semiconductor fabrication and characterization processes.

Delivered by renowned experts, the program offers:

  • Comprehensive theoretical insights into semiconductor fabrication processes.
  • Focus on contamination control, yield improvement, process variability, and metrology to ensure high-performance semiconductor fabrication.
  • Exploration of MEMS, power electronics, advanced packaging, and cleanroom functionality, with insights into NNfC and MNCF facilities.

Whether you are an academic aiming to enhance your knowledge or an industry professional seeking to upskill, this program offers the perfect platform to stay ahead in the semiconductor revolution.

About CeNSE

The Centre for Nano Science and Engineering (CeNSE) was established in 2010 to pursue interdisciplinary research on the nanoscale. Topics of interest include, but not limited to materials, electronics, MEMS/NEMS, photonics, biotechnology, and solar cells. If you have an exciting and revolutionary idea, come talk to us. We welcome both academic and industry collaborations.

CeNSE houses a state-of-the art national nanofabrication centre (NNfC) with 14000 square feet of class 100/1000 clean room. It also houses a comprehensive micro nano characterization facility (MNCF) to conduct virtually any type of electrical, optical, mechanical and material characterization. Both of these are national user facilities are accessible to outside researchers for very reasonable charges.
