ON Semiconductor company is a leading supplier of semiconductor-based solutions, offering a comprehensive portfolio of energy efficient power management, analogue, sensors, logic, timing, connectivity, discrete, SoC and custom devices. The company's products help engineers solve their unique design challenges in automotive, communications, computing, consumer, industrial, medical, aerospace and defence applications. ON Semiconductor operates a responsive, reliable, world-class supply chain and quality programme, throughout North America, Europe and the Asia Pacific regions.
Being one of the leaders in the semiconductor wafer manufacturing industry, a half a day trip was organised to ON Semiconductor Sdn Bhd in order to facilitate the students to have full access to the production and high volume wafer fabrication clean environment lab facilities.
More than 25 students who are currently learning embedded system design during their final year electrical engineering degree programme attended. During the visit, students not only experienced the industry working environment, they also learned how the Power and Small Outline Surface Mount Packages including; QFN/DFN, DPAK, SM, TSOP, TO, and leadless are manufactured, tested and supplied for the outside market.
The core value behind embedded system design applications and how the complicated IC design technologies are validated by using ultra-modern technology developments was well received and accepted by the students. They also had hands on experience with various CNC machines in the production of wafers. The visit also opened opportunities for the students to apply for jobs and to do their internship training with ON Semiconductor Sdn Bhd.
