National Tsing Hua University (NTHU)

College of Semiconductor Research Master Program

Hsinchu, Taiwan

Applicants for Master program must hold bachelor degree’s diploma.

• Semiconductor Device

To cultivate talents for research and development of semiconductor technologies, such as 3D FinFET and GAA CMOS devices; SRAM, DRAM, Flash and the emerging RRAM, MRAM, FeRAM, PCRAM memories; pure Si as well as GaN and SiC compound power devices. Experimental courses in device design and manufacturing employ collaboration with world-class semiconductor companies to provide an up-to-date technology platform for hands-on learning of advanced devices and the exploration of leading-edge technology.

• Semiconductor Design

To promote advanced researches in electronic circuit architecture and system that spans the spectrum of analog/mixed-signal, RF and microwave, bio-medical, sensor, memory, digital system, and EDA. Faculties have demonstrated leadership in domains including computing in memory, deep learning accelerator and system, hardware security, and quantum algorithm. Novel applications are developed in close collaboration with leading industry experts. Exemplar systems includes highly-efficient DNN accelerator, bio-mimic fly drone, etc.

• Semiconductor Material

NTHU is one of the strongest institutes on materials research in the world. This department strongly links material experts on campus and from the semiconductor industry to provide students a solid background through courses and researches including fundamental material cores, Si-based materials, compound semiconductors, dielectrics, metal contacts, polymers, microstructure and failure analysis, as well as computational materials. Through CoSR’s training, students will be cultivated to be multi-disciplinary materials leaders.

• Semiconductor Process

Taiwan is a major area of global Semiconductor Manufacturing Process. Objectives are to understand the manufacturing process, and be able to harness the process and metrology equipment to its ultimate limit in exploiting resolution enhancement techniques in Immersion and EUV lithography, Plasma and Reactive Ion Etch, CVD, PVD, ALD, Electroplating, CMP. Deep learning using Big-data coupled with tools (Design of Experiment) is covered. Rich internship programs with the collaboration companies are also encouraged to participate.
