The manufacture of CMOS integrated circuits in a university microelectronics laboratory

The manufacture of CMOS integrated circuits in a university laboratory course is difficult because the process is complicated and time consuming. At RIT we have developed an approach that allows the manufacture of CMOS integrated circuits similar to manufacturing in a semiconductor factory. This allows the student to learn about semiconductor manufacturing in addition to fabrication technology for CMOS integrated circuits.
