After completing the program, students will be able to:

• Design and understand a sequence of processing steps to fabricate a solid-state device to meet a set of geometric, electrical, and/or processing parameters.
• Analyze experimental electrical data from a solid-state device to extract performance parameters for comparison to modeling parameters used in the device design.
• Understand current lithographic materials, processes, and systems to meet imaging and/or device patterning requirements.
• Understand the relevance of a processor device, either proposed or existing, to current manufacturing practices.
• Perform in a microelectronic engineering environment, as evidenced by an internship.
• Appreciate the areas of specialty in the field of microelectronics, such as device engineering, circuit design, lithography, materials and processes, and yield and manufacturing.
