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, we are working together to understand the processes and theories behind devices smaller than a millimeter.

Goal and Objectives:

• design electrical components including resistor, capacitors, inductors and transistors with a tolerance of 25 um
•  fabricate a semiconductor chip on a wafer
• comprehensive documentation for each stage of the design and fabrication process
• comprehensive guide to using KLayout CAD software for chip design
• standard operating procedure for cleanroom environment
