Description: The Certificate of Completion (CCL) in Semiconductor Manufacturing program is designed for students seeking employment in semiconductor manufacturing. This certificate provides an intermediate understanding of the scientific principles and application of practical skills involved in the fabrication and characterization of semiconductors, microelectronic components, and photonic integrated circuits. Students will have opportunities to prepare for entry-level employment, career transition, or career advancement as operators or technicians in these fields. This certificate of completion may also prepare students to take industry certification credential exams in safety, fabrication, characterization, material properties and photonics.
