IMPS in ASU's Semiconductor XR Classroom
The ASU News feature highlights IMPS as the immersive media platform behind EEE 598: Metrology for Semiconductor Devices, a graduate course designed to connect classroom learning with semiconductor manufacturing environments that are not consistently accessible in person.
Project context from the article
- IMPS is used to upload and present interactive digital assets so students can inspect semiconductor tools and workflows at multiple scales in an AR setting.
- The course focuses on semiconductor metrology, including measurement methods, the physics of inspection tools, and statistics used to analyze materials and optimize production.
- The initiative was led by Umberto Celano with collaboration from Robert LiKamWa and Binil Starly, and supported by student contributors including graduate teaching assistant Krutik Pandya.
- The work aligns with Arizona's semiconductor workforce goals and supports the SWAP Hub mission of accelerating lab-to-fab talent development.
Why this matters
Instead of relying solely on occasional clean-room access, IMPS helps deliver repeatable, immersive engineering practice in-class. This gives students earlier exposure to real semiconductor instrumentation concepts and creates a stronger bridge from academic training to industry-ready roles.
