Basecamp Training
Basecamps offer training across the full development cycle. This is hands-on training at its most sophisticated.
Active Silicon Photonics
Training in the design, fabrication, and test of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) targeting the AMF Si Photonics technology, and the ANT NanoSOI Si Photonics technology available through CMC Microsystems.
Passive Silicon Photonics
Training in the design, fabrication, and test of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) targeting applications that include optical communications and sensors.
Superconducting Circuits
The workshop covers the fundamentals of superconductors and Josephson junctions, and how to design circuits such as resonators, SQUIDs, analog to digital converters and qubits.
Quantum Photonics
Training on the design, fabrication, and testing of quantum silicon photonic circuits used in quantum computer hardware.
TNT
This introductory course is tailored for non-technical professionals in support roles—such as legal, marketing, HR, finance, procurement, and IT—who may not be directly involved in chip design or manufacturing but still engage with the semiconductor industry. Whether you’re new to the field or seeking to deepen your understanding, this training will provide you with the essential knowledge to confidently navigate the industry’s technical landscape.
