• etc

Prerequisite

• Available K-Workers (currently unemployed, in-between jobs, changing fields, retrenched)
• Malaysian graduates
• CGPA 2.5 and above
• Hold at least a diploma in electrical and electronics engineering fields

Course MethodologyThe training program is delivered in classroom lecture, interspersed with hands-on exercises to allow trainees to gain first-hand experience in various IC product development engineering flow.

The participants are first introduced the IC fabrication process and PC architecture to give the overall picture and trends of the engineering activities in semiconductor industry, particularly that involved high-end digital VLSI devices like microprocessor.

The participants will then be taught essential knowledge in IC product development engineering, including semiconductor physics, high-speed signal integrity, test methodology, wafer test and yield analysis.

Having acquired the basic knowledge, the participants will then be taught major product test development skills required including Microsoft Excel data analysis and reporting, C programming, and Perl programming.
