Why Semiconductor Basics for Future Fab Technicians?

As per Mckinsey, the semiconductor industry is poised to grow to $1 trillion by 2030 from the current $600 billion, fueled by tech trends such as AI, ubiquitous computing, and pervasive connectivity. Intel is at the forefront of enabling this “Siliconomy.”

However, the industry faces significant talent challenges. In the US alone, the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) report indicates the need for 33% growth in the workforce from today's approximately 345,000 jobs to 460,000 jobs by 2030. However, 58% (or roughly 67,000) of projected new jobs risk being unfilled at current degree completion rates. Based on this forecast, 39% of chip factory technician jobs may remain vacant. 

Program Objectives

  • Sharing of foundational knowledge on device physics, safety, and equipment from industry
  • Audience
  • Prerequisites
  • Skills Gained
  • Faculty from community colleges/technical schools/universities
  • Previous experience in providing vocational training programs for students wanting to be semiconductor technicians
  • Safety Proficiency: Gain knowledge of safety protocols, risk assessment, and hazard prevention in the semiconductor industry
  • Equipment and Operational Understanding: Learn about semiconductor fabrication processes, yield terms, and product reliability for efficient manufacturing
  • Device Physics Fundamentals: Acquire foundational knowledge in semiconductor principles, electrical properties, and transistor operations

Impact Stories

Training the semiconductor workforce in Ohio

Universities, technical schools and community colleges across the state of Ohio in the US are utilizing this program to build new curriculum. A one-year Associate's degree in semiconductor workforce training is being developed and will be required for the upcoming Intel fab in Ohio.
