Semiconductor Synergy Capacity Building: Enhancing Laboratory Hands-On Excellence through University-Industry Collaboration

This paper presents a comprehensive exploration of semiconductor synergy capacity building, emphasizing hands-on undergraduate engineering education to advance knowledge through university-industry collaboration. By leveraging practical experimentation and laboratory-based learning, students are equipped with the essential skills required for careers in the semiconductor industry. The paper elucidates laboratory procedures for testing critical parameters, with a focus on input offset voltage and output voltage swing testing of operational amplifiers (op-amps). A step-by-step guide is provided, enabling instructors and students to conduct these tests effectively. Additionally, the paper underscores the educational objectives of integrating parameter testing of op-amps into university laboratories, including the enhancement of practical skills, promotion of hands-on learning experiences, and alignment with industry demands. Through this collaborative approach, students are better prepared to address the challenges and opportunities within the semiconductor sector, ensuring a seamless transition from academia to industry.
