<p>I work in nanofabrication/NEMS/MEMS, so it’s neither PCB nor CMOS. You can’t farm out my processes, and no, Pomona doesn’t have the equipment I use either. The only two schools in SoCal that have the proper equipment are UCLA and Caltech, and to an extent UCLA comes to us for some our equipment (like our etchers). By the way, I think you might mean “die”. Industry typically uses standardized wafer-based CMOS processing (wafer level or die level) but research, at least non CMOS related research, is done on a much smaller scale usually.</p>
