A Stanford online course on nanomanufacturing, covering semiconductor chip fabrication, processing techniques, and chip packaging with worked examples. The course is hosted on Stanford's Lagunita platform.

The commenter, who worked in the semiconductor industry, found it useful for seeing what chip manufacturing and packaging involve beyond the physics.

    Yes that's true, but there's actually even more like packaging, testing, etc. I took a free online course from Stanford called "nanomanufacturing" but it really was mostly about about chip manufacturing, packaging etc. Even though I worked in the semiconductor industry for 12 years (mostly bench testing preproduction ASICS) I still found it really useful. Not sure if you can still view the archives here if you sign up for an account (I can but I took the class)

    No substitute for learning the physics, but at least it kind of gives you some idea of what's involved. In addition to all the crazy technology involved in fabricating the chips, the packaging technology has gotten really sophisticated. It can be very confusing about what's the difference BGA, WLCSP, stacked dies, etc. Anyway the course covered a lot different types of processing with examples.
