Shaping tomorrow's materials for advanced electronics with a Specialisation in Microelectronics & Quantum Materials (MQM). This specialisation explores the dynamic influence of diverse materials in microelectronics applications, unlocking the next-gen power electronics for future technologies.

Some of the world’s biggest foundries such as Micro Technology, Infineon Technology, AMD etc., have manufacturing facilities in Singapore, as do many other top outsourced semiconductor assembly and test companies. Beyond semiconductors, Singapore is also a key node in the global supply chain for products ranging from storage and memory products, to microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). Furthermore, the leading materials & equipment suppliers such as Applied Materials, for electronics manufacturing also require the engineers with microelectronic background. New kinds of semiconductors used for millimetre wave and beyond for future communications, and wide bandgap semiconductors for next-gen power electronics are becoming more important. Singapore government has decided to invest more resource to enhance the development of semiconductor in Singapore. This specialisation aims to maintain dynamic relevance and explore advanced materials-based solutions for long-term global problems of sustainability

Students completing this specialisation will be able to:

1. Understand the micro/nanofabrication processes and technologies required for microelectronics industry.
2. Understand the working principles and requirements of various electronic devices such as CMOS and various transistors in the fabrication and materials perspectives.
3. Know the various characterization method/technologies of the various devices.
4. Do simple failure analysis for the various devices.

Students in the MQM Specialisation are required to complete a minimum of 20 Units consisting of MQM core (2 mandatory courses) and MQM electives.
