Semiconductor Human Resource Development in Hokkaido Triggered by Rapidus
Seiya Kasai
Seiya Kasai
Hokkaido University
Research Center for Integrated Quantum Electronics
Professor

Launching of an advanced semiconductor manufacturing factory in Hokkaido by Rapidus cooperation, demands on the semiconductor human resource development are increasing. However, in this point of view, the ability of academia in Hokkaido area is unknown for most of the people. On this background, in this talk I describe the recent work of academia in Hokkaido for the rise and development of the big advanced semiconductor industry. 

15:30 - 15:45
Status of Human Resource Development at Education Center for Semiconductors and Value Creation, Kyushu University
Haruichi Kanaya
Haruichi Kanaya
Kyushu University
Department of Electronics
Professor

We educate value-creating human resources who are specialists in the materials, design, and manufacturing of semiconductors and integrated circuits, at the same time who understand semiconductors and integrated circuits required for social change, and who can reflect this in the design and manufacture. In this presentation, current status of human resource development at Education Center for Semiconductors and Value Creation, Kyushu University will be reported.

15:45 - 16:00
Initiatives of National Institute of Technology to Foster Talent for the Semiconductor Industry
Hiroshi Takamatsu
Hiroshi Takamatsu
National Institute of Technology, Kumamoto College
President

The project overview of the National Institute of Technology (NIT) will be presented. Since TSMC’s decision to construct a new factory in Kumamoto was announced, expectations for nurturing human resources for the semiconductor industry have rapidly increased toward NIT. In response, NIT Kumamoto College and NIT Sasebo College have been leading semiconductor-related educational efforts across NIT colleges nationwide, working in collaboration since the start of the 2022 academic year.
