TEMPE, Ariz., June 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading semiconductor test equipment supplier Advantest Corporation (TSE: 6857) and Arizona State University (ASU) today announced their collaboration with global semiconductor company NXP ® Semiconductors to create a new, “first-of-its-kind” test engineering course at ASU.
- TEMPE, Ariz., June 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading semiconductor test equipment supplier Advantest Corporation (TSE: 6857) and Arizona State University (ASU) today announced their collaboration with global semiconductor company NXP ® Semiconductors to create a new, “first-of-its-kind” test engineering course at ASU.
- First, the flurry of wafer-fab construction in Arizona (already home to numerous advanced chipmaking plants) would soon heighten demand for test engineers.
- Second, local university engineering programs did not offer classes specifically aimed at training and preparing engineers to enter the semiconductor test industry.
- Students learn to define test conditions and test flows, write and optimize test programs, interpret measurement data, identify potential manufacturing problems and automate the test process.
