What do your microwave oven, washing machine, smartphone, and car have in common? They all contain integrated circuits, or ‘chips.’ But although they shape our modern world, their precise functioning remains a mystery to many.
Microchips are at the core of imec’s research activities. We aim to make them smaller, more powerful, more energy-efficient. And we explore new ways of using their capabilities to enhance people’s lives.
Precisely because we believe chip technology is essential for a sustainable future, we also play our part in informing and educating people about it. And with this massive open online course (MOOC), we go straight to the basics.
You don’t need any previous knowledge to dive in. It’s ideally suited for introducing secondary students to the exciting world of nano- and digital technology. Perhaps awakening the enthusiasm of tomorrow’s semiconductor engineers.
