Degree Plans - Engineering Technology - Integrated Circuit Layout AAS
ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY -- INTEGRATED CIRCUIT LAYOUT
Eastfield and Richland only
(Associate in Applied Sciences Degree)
(Students pursuing this AAS program are required to meet all TASP requirements.)
Degree Plan Code: AAS.ENGR.INTR.CT.LAY
The Integrated Circuit Layout program trains the student to prepare layout drawings and designs of integrated circuits from schematics using computer-aided design equipment. The program aids the student in developing the skills necessary to convert logic diagrams to cell drawings in accordance with design rules. Students will perform design rule checks and prepare databases for pattern generation. Emphasis is placed on working closely with all members of the semiconductor manufacturing design team.
