Semiconductor Chip Design and Fabrication

Background:

Our multidisciplinary team is working to design and fabricate a semiconductor chip through the use of a cleanroom and the equipment within it. In addition to development, the team aims to create educational content on semiconductor manufacturing to share knowledge and promote understanding. By combining the expertise of multiple engineering fields, in mechanical, electrical, and computer, they work together to understand the processes and theories behind devices smaller than a millimeter.

Goal and Objectives:

• design electrical components including resistor, diodes, capacitors, and transistors with a tolerance of 10 um
•  fabricate a semiconductor chip on a silicon wafer
• comprehensive documentation for each stage of the design and fabrication process
• comprehensive guide to using KLayout CAD software for chip design
