Class Objectives
/Class Outline This course provides a comprehensive overview of technological trends in integrated semiconductor devices, which support modern society, from a wide range of perspectives, including devices, processes, design, simulation and applications.
These lectures will be provided by lecturers from various companies that are leading the semiconductor industry. In addition to providing an overview of the basics of technology in each field, students can listen to the lecturers' talks based on their own experiences, such as what is important as industrial technology on the hot trends in the semiconductor industry and what perspectives those who are responsible for technology development should have. In addition, students will learn through practical examples the importance of collaboration between different fields in the development of semiconductor technology, which is a comprehensive technology that spans a wide range of fields. Through this course, students will learn about the various technological elements that support semiconductor devices and the efforts of each company, and will understand the relationship between their own field of expertise and the semiconductor industry, and will develop their ability to develop technology with an eye on the market. Through these lectures, students can acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to realize their own career designs and develop the ability to collaborate with others to solve problems.
This lecture (Special Lecture I on Integrated Green-niX) and the Special Lecture II on Integrated Green-niX to be held in the 3Q will be offered side by side with a common concept, and will be structured to cover a wide range of content.
　From the 2025 academic year onwards, this course can be considered as an entrepreneurship course (corresponding GA is GA1M).

Class Schedule Class 1 Advanced logic devices (Structures, Scaling technology) [IBM USA] Understanding the technological advances driving the miniaturization of advanced logic devices.
Class 2 Approach to ultimately small energy consumption of electronic devices　[NTT] Understanding device technologies for ultimately low power consumption.
Class 3 Advanced semiconductor process 1 (Etching technology)　[Hitachi High-Tech] Understanding the evolution of etching processing technology through device fabrication process technology.
Class 4 Advanced semiconductor process 2 (Cleaning technology)　[SCREEN Semiconductor Solutions] Understanding cleaning technology that is becoming more sophisticated with device manufacturing process technology.
Class 5 TCAD (Technology CAD: Semiconductor Process/Device Simulation)　[AdvanceSoft] Understanding design technologies using simulations for processes and devices.
Class 6 Semiconductor products, market (Image Sensor)　[Sony Semiconductor Solutions] Understanding image sensors, which is an important application along with LSI.
Class 7 Current situation and prospects of Si technology from the viewpoints of wafer technology　[SUMCO] Understanding wafer technology within the semiconductor industry.
