METROLOGY AND TESTING IN THE SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY

The Ort Braude College and the Holon Institute of Technology offer dedicated programs in the field of electro-optics from the Bachelor’s Degree onwards, which provide the Israeli market with skilled personnel from the junior to senior positions.

Laboratories and researchers at the Technion, the Weizmann Institute, the Hebrew University, and Ben-Gurion University provide the Israeli market with experts with advanced degrees and make theoretical and empirical scientific discoveries that may lead the entire semiconductor sector, and specifically the field of metrology, forward.

ORT network of schools and colleges opened an optoelectronics study track in Migdal HaEmek to expose 9th and 12th grade pupils to the field. A dedicated laboratory was established at the school with the financial assistance of KLA-Tencor, whose plant is nearby.

The optics and electro-optics “Oasis” conference and exhibition is held once every two years, led by the Israel Laser and Optoelectronics Association at the Israeli Engineers’ Association and with the participation of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Aerospace. Among the sponsors of the conference are prominent entities in the sub-sector in Israel, including KLA-Tencor, Rafael, Elbit, Applied Materials and more. The conference addresses a variety of topics in the field, including metrology and semiconductor testing. The conference attracts hundreds of experts in electro-optics from Israel and around the world.
