About the project

An open-access map of the entire silicon value chain

Silicon University documents semiconductor manufacturing end to end, from quartzite reduction chemistry to copper hybrid bonding, as a tiered curriculum anyone can follow.

The curator

Dimitri Albino

Project Leader, Advanced Wet Processing Equipment Manufacturing & Deployment. Dimitri curates every article of the curriculum and grounds it in day-to-day fab practice: tool kinematics, bath chemistry, defectivity data and yield transfer.

How it works

Two tracks, eight pillars, three tiers

The same body of knowledge, three ways in: a chronological fab journey, a practitioner matrix, and a tier system that tells you how deep a page goes.

Track A

The Guided Fab Journey

24 steps follow one silicon atom from quartzite to packaged device. Start step 01 →

Track B

The Practitioner Matrix

Every article indexed by pillar, topic and tier for direct jump-in. Browse the matrix →

Tiers 1 to 3

Depth Control

Fundamentals, equipment kinematics, then quantitative yield engineering, for every topic. How tiers work →

Editorial standards

Written like process documentation, not marketing

Numbered sections, real equations, parameter tables, schematics and source diagrams. Each article carries a defined scope, audience and prerequisite chain.
