The UCSB Nanofab Internship Program

Students get hands-on, industry-relevant fab experience
Students run process-control on the lab's most critical/high-usage tools, and:
  • Become comfortable in a busy semiconductor 'fab environment with high industry usage
  • Become comfortable with learning different SOP's of similar tool types
    • Eg. 4 different plasma depositions, 4 different ICP etchers etc.​
  • Learn to utilize production tracking/communications
  • Perform metrology, process control, create SPC charts
  • Work with tool engineers to identify & diagnose equipment problems.
  • See the Job Descriptions & Skills Acquired for detailed info.

In collaboration with Santa Barbara City College, UCSB hosts a 1-week microfab "bootcamp" for
  • Regional City College Students
  • Local Industry / Upskilling into the fab
  • Re-skilling into the microfab industry

Launch your own microelectronics/semiconductor trainings!

To enable other sites to launch their own trainings, the UCSB NanoFab and USC DREAMS Hub have produced a Handbook with critical info needed for you to replicate our trainings at your own cleanroom.

This can be used to train technicians by partnering with local Community Colleges, or to launch a full Undergraduate engineering curriculum.

We also have a shared drive with all the materials needed to help you launch, such as
  • Lecture Slides
  • Mask Plate/Device Designs
  • Materials needed and ordering info
  • Scheduling info
​
Lastly, we implement a "Train the Trainer" model in which your staff attend
our course to learn everything needed to copy the trainings to your site.
​
Please contact us if you would like access to these additional materials.
