Course Description
Join a journey of discovery into the world of semiconductors with our comprehensive, 7-part program on Udemy. This carefully designed course will take you through the entire semiconductor industry, from physics to cutting-edge technologies and business strategies.
We will look at the "Principles of Semiconductor Physics," untangling the mystery of the electron behavior, the energy bands, and the principles underlying this material miracle. You will have a solid foundation to be your bedrock for semiconductor knowledge.
Semiconductor Business Models is the topic of Part 2; it is an area of incredibly valuable insight into how the industry produces in terms of its economic landscape. Learn about the high stakes and fast pace of these companies in the market and how to position them for success.
Parts 3 and 4 deal with critical aspects of semiconductor production. "Hard Production Necessities" will give you comprehensive processes and equipment wherever necessary for producing these tiny technological marvels. "Auxiliary Production Necessities" will complement such information by discussing supporting systems and infrastructure that make such a thing possible.
Part 5 covers the many "Roles2 in the semiconductor industry. Discover the richness and diversity of careers and skills that can help you excel in this exciting field.
Part 6 deals with "Advanced Semiconductor Materials and Technologies", keeping you updated about the most recent developments, new materials, and novel techniques in fabrication, so that you can understand what's in store for the future of semiconductor technology.
Finally, Part 7 is headed with "Semiconductor Reliability and Failure Analysis"; this is one of the critical areas of quality control and enhancing the product. Learn many different methods on reliability and failure analysis of semiconductor devices.
In this course, you will learn about the semiconductor environment from atomic to industry-wide trends by the course's end. Whether you are a student, professional, or a technology enthusiast, this course will provide critical knowledge and insight into the world of fascinating semiconductors.

Instructor Details

Tobias Lepiarczyk
My name is Tobias and I am working since 7+ years in the semiconductor industry, mainly focusing on the back-end wafer manufacturing process. After graduating from university with a M. Sc. degree in industrial engineering, focusing on electrical engineering and manufacturing, I entered the exciting and fast pacing cutting edge semiconductor industry and have not left since. My area of expertise involves the whole semiconductor manufacturing process with focus on the back-end manufacturing process steps like taping, grinding, peeling, testing, mounting, singulation and packaging.
