UTT Students in Semiconductor Integrated Circuit Engineering Technology Study and Conduct Experiments in a Cleanroom Environment

On April 24, 2026, K76 students majoring in Semiconductor Integrated Circuit Engineering Technology, Faculty of Information Technology, University of Transport Technology (UTT), participated in a practical learning session at the National Center for Technological Innovation (NACENTECH).

The program was organized to strengthen the connection between theoretical training and practical application, enabling students to access research and production environments in the semiconductor field—one of the key high-tech industries with significant demand for human resources today. It also serves as a meaningful activity to support career orientation and provide students with practical insights while still at university.

At NACENTECH, students were introduced by engineers and experts to an overview of the semiconductor research, development, and production ecosystem in Vietnam. They also shared requirements regarding knowledge, skills, and professional conduct expected of human resources in the microelectronics field. These practical insights helped students better understand career opportunities, development pathways, and the rigorous standards of the industry.

Notably, students were given access to the cleanroom system—the core environment for semiconductor research and fabrication. Here, they directly observed the technical infrastructure, including air, water, temperature, and humidity control systems operating under strict standards, along with modern semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Experiencing the cleanroom environment firsthand, observing operational processes, and engaging with equipment provided students with a clearer understanding of the entire microchip production process in practice.

In the context where cleanroom laboratories for semiconductor research and training remain limited in Vietnam, students majoring in Semiconductor Integrated Circuit Engineering Technology at UTT are given early opportunities to access, study, and practice in such environments. This represents a significant advantage, enabling students not only to master theoretical knowledge but also to develop practical skills, familiarize themselves with technological processes and industry standards, and enhance their readiness to meet employer expectations upon graduation.

Through enterprise-based learning activities, students not only consolidate their specialized knowledge but also gradually develop professional thinking and working discipline in high-tech environments. The opportunity to “see, hear, and directly observe” advanced technologies has further motivated students to pursue deeper study and research in microelectronics and semiconductor fields.

This activity reflects UTT’s practice-oriented training approach, which emphasizes strengthening collaboration with research institutes and high-tech enterprises to provide students with early exposure to real working environments. With advantages in training programs and access to cleanroom laboratory systems, the Semiconductor Integrated Circuit Engineering Technology major at UTT offers promising prospects for learners, meeting the demand for high-quality human resources in the digital technology era.
