Semiconductor Technician Quick Start | Maricopa Community Colleges

Maricopa County is emerging as a global semiconductor industry hub. Major investment to the Greater Phoenix economy has presented the region with an opportunity to become a world leader in the industry. Semiconductor companies are opening new fabs in the East and West Valley and will hire more than 20,000 people in Arizona. Maricopa Community Colleges is partnering with semiconductor companies around the Valley to provide a short-term training program that will qualify you to get hired in an exciting new career with full-time employment and benefits.

Semiconductor Technicians help manufacture semiconductors (essential components of electronic devices) with the use of special purpose furnaces, x-ray equipment, chemical baths, and equipment used to form circuitry and change conductive properties. These technicians work in a clean room environment and wear "bunny suits" (an overall garment to minimize contaminants).
