Short Abstract:
The intent of the course is to give a general overview of the complex mechanism that, starting from a simple idea, leads to the manufacturing of a microelectronic device. The environment of a big company as STMicroelectronics will be presented as well as the fundamentals steps of the manufacturing path. During the course, the importance of the research and development and the value of the knowledge will be discussed in the frame of the willingness of a corporate social responsibility.
