Silicon Run Productions Educational Video Series on Semiconductor and Computer Manufacturing

The Award Winning Silicon Run Video Series

Coming Soon

The National Science foundation awarded Silicon Run Productions a grant for the production of three films on MEMS and nanotechnology. The award is from NSF’s Advanced Technology Education Program, which is designed to help prepare exemplary technicians at the community colleges for successful careers in industry. These films, like the Silicon Run Series, will provide students with an inside view and an understanding of high tech manufacturing processes.

The first of the three films MEMS: Making Micro Machines has just been completed. Please visit our new MEMS page for more information. The working titles for the remaining two films are:

Nanotech I: Introduction to Nanotechnology
Nanotech II: Manufacturing Processes

The NSF award, from the Division of Undergraduate Education #0703002, began October 1, 2007. Our goal is to complete these films by September 2011.

CORPORATE PARTNERS

Corporate sponsorships have always played a vital part in the creation of our industrial manufacturing films. Our videos, valued as a window into industry’s restrictive clean rooms and manufacturing sites, have become a standard for industrial training programs and undergraduate science and engineering curriculum. Silicon Run Productions videos are seen worldwide and become a valuable exposure and advertising tool for our sponsors.

We invite the nanotechnology and equipment manufacturing industry to participate in our upcoming nanotechnology films by becoming Corporate Partners and serving as location sites, advisors, or financial sponsors. We are currently reaching out to the following companies as we begin the films pre-production:
