Purdue Summer Training, Awareness, and Readiness for Semiconductors (STARS) is an eight-week summer program to develop deep-tech skills like IC design, fabrication, and packaging, and semiconductor device and materials characterization. The STARS program will have two tracks: chip design and semiconductor manufacturing, and is envisioned as the equivalent of a summer internship. Students in each track will participate in hands on activities in the Scifres Nanotechnology Cleanroom. Participants will receive a $10,000 stipend; students who intend to earn up to 6 credit hours will be responsible to cover the tuition from the stipend. The program will run from May to July.
