Apprenticeship
YOUR TASKS
– Manufacturing of semiconductor chips by patterning, etching, doping and sawing
– Further processing of semiconductor chips by assembly, soldering, bonding and encapsulation to electronic components
– Metrological evaluation of the components
– Design and evaluation of circuits as well as microsystems
CONTENT AND DURATION OF THE APPRENTICESHIP
– 3 years (shortening possible with appropriate performance) | Start on September 1 each year
– Dual apprenticeship (school-based and in-company)
– Vocational School Chemistry, Physics and Biology (Lise – Meitner – Schule) in Berlin
– Company EPIGAP OSA Photonics GmbH in the Innovation Park Wuhlheide (Berlin)
– Payment: 1st apprenticeship year 940€ | 2nd apprenticeship year 990€ | 3rd apprenticeship year 1.050€ + ticket
WHAT YOU SHOULD BRING WITH YOU
– Interest in science subjects because microtechnologists perform the following tasks, among others:
- Physics – measuring voltages, currents, resistances, etc.
- Chemistry – Handling of acids, alkalis and other chemicals
- Mathematics – planning, set-up and statistical evaluation of measurement series or machine parameters ( e.g. etch rate, layer thickness)
– manual as well as fine motor skills
– acting responsibly and prudently
– Eye for detail
“I don’t want to say too many words about the apprenticeship as an industrial clerk; after completing the apprenticeship, you are simply a commercial all-rounder. The special thing about Epigap is that the company’s orientation also gives you a technical background. When it comes to prioritizing the tasks to be completed, I can contribute well and also offer my help. The team not only ensures that the content is conveyed in a casual manner and communicates questions as well as suggestions at eye level, but additionally lets you work freely and independently.” – Jonathan
