Discuss forums about the Microelectronic Fabrication

[walkinginwater]

Hi, dear all:
I am a newbie in EE, now I am studying some courses related to IC fabrication and MEMS. I have the book : "The Science and Engineering of Microelectronic Fabrication" by Stephen A. Campbell. I am really wanted to know are there any online tutorial materials and discussion forums for me?
Thanks in advance!

A 'sort of' discussion forum can be found on http://news.gmane.org/gmane.science.microelectromechanical-systems but it is not very good, forum-wise, not content-wise, a lot of bright people come there.

I would propose also posting here on this forum, the more you post, the more chance people will come here and stick.

Hi there, welcome to the world of microelectronic fabrication! There are definitely some great online resources and discussion forums for you to explore and learn from. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Reddit's r/ECE subreddit: This is a great community for electrical and computer engineering students and professionals to discuss various topics, including microelectronic fabrication. You can find helpful resources, ask questions, and engage in discussions with others who have similar interests.

2. EETimes: This website offers a variety of forums and discussion boards on different topics related to electronics and electrical engineering. They have a specific forum dedicated to microelectronics and fabrication, where you can find discussions on the latest trends, techniques, and challenges in this field.

3. EEVblog Forum: This forum is run by renowned electronics engineer and YouTuber, Dave Jones. It covers a wide range of topics related to electronics and has a dedicated section for microelectronics and fabrication discussions. You can find informative threads, ask questions, and connect with other enthusiasts and professionals in this field.

4. Semiconductor Manufacturing and Design (SemiWiki) Forum: This forum is focused specifically on the semiconductor industry and offers discussions on topics such as fabrication processes, equipment, and materials. It also has a section for MEMS discussions.

Additionally, many universities and research institutions have their own online forums and communities for students and researchers to discuss microelectronic fabrication. It may be worth checking with your university's engineering department or reaching out to professors and peers for recommendations.

I hope these suggestions help you find the resources and support you need as you continue your studies in this exciting field. Best of luck!
