Program Overview

'Semiconductor Materials and Devices', the predecessor of 'Microelectronics Science and Engineering', was founded in 1958, which was one of the first ten engineering universities to establishthis major in China. It has undergone changes in the major names of 'Semiconductor Physics andDevices', 'Microelectronics Technology', 'Electronic Science and Technology'. In 2004, NationalIntegrated Circuit Talents Training Base was approved.

In 2011, Excellent Engineer Program ofElectronic Science and Technology was approved. In 2015, National Demonstration School ofMicroelectronics was approved. In 2019, Guangdong Demonstration Industry College was approvedas the first batch. In 2021, the university was approved as the first batch of 'Integrated Circuit Scienceand Engineering' doctoral degree-granting institutions in China. In 2022, 'Microelectronics Scienceand Engineering' was approved as a nationalcharacteristic major. At present, this major has developeda cultivate system including Bachelor-Master-Ph.D degree.

Inheriting the tradition of Professor Feng Bingquan's emphasis on teaching reform, the long-termexplorations of education and teaching reforms have been undertaken and the remarkable results wereachieved. The training of students is strongly supported by the industry. Presently, a lot of internshipbases with the leading enterprises have been set up, such as Huawei, ZTE, Haige Communications,Cansemi, AscenPower, Primarius, Empyrean, Smarter Micro, Anyka Microelectronics, Allwinner,JIELI Technology, GOWIN, CEPREI, etc.
