MOSIS 2.0 Storefront IC Design Training Service

The MOSIS 2.0 Storefront offers extensive, professional training services covering a variety of Integrated Circuit (IC) design disciplines. We offer training programs across specialized areas of digital logic design, radiofrequency (RF) design, and millimeter-wave (MMIC) IC design. The training program integrates IC design principles with world-class expertise and state-of-the-art semiconductor fabrication processes. These perspectives are uniquely accessible through California DREAMS/MOSIS 2.0.

World-Class Training Resource

The training program features world-class lecturers with expertise in education, research, and industry practice. Lecturers come from renowned universities, research organizations, and industry semiconductor design teams associated with the California DREAMS Hub. The classes are designed for learners to gain high-level knowledge and practical skills to meet the challenges that the IC design community faces today. Trainees will participate in hands-on, in-depth courses that combine academic principles with industry pragmatism.

Access to State-Of-The-Art Semiconductor Processes

The training program is aligned with the world-leading semiconductor fabrication capabilities enabled by MOSIS 2.0. Trainees will be able to participate in tapeout classes, in which class design projects will be submitted to a foundry’s Multiple Project Wafer (MPW) fabrication. In these classes, trainees will work with the corresponding Process Design Kit (PDK), use the EDA tools that the PDK supports, and can directly measure the design. The foundry processes include extensive CMOS bulk and FinFET processes for logic designs, and III-V processes (GaAs, GaN, and InP) for RF and MMIC designs.
