ChipCraft: The Art of Chip Design (Self-paced, Online)

Abstract

This intensive two-week course equips participants with essential knowledge and extensive hands-on experience in chip design, testing, and debugging, culminating in the fabrication of silicon chips. It is ideal for technical and non-technical individuals seeking to develop semiconductor design know-how. This course has been modified for lectures and labs to be taught asynchronously online, at your own pace; the two weeks to complete is an instructor-based guideline and is not mandatory.

No Prior Hardware Experience Required

We welcome participants with diverse backgrounds, as no prior experience with hardware is necessary.
