January 6, 2022 Hello and welcome to our new trainee blog. A good four months have now passed since the start of training in September, so this is a good time for a little review. As expected, the first few weeks were full of new impressions. Just like the other eleven future microtechnologists, I met a lot of nice people, saw the inside of a clean room for the first time (impressive!) and soaked up a whole lot of knowledge. We have understood at least the basics of how a chip is manufactured and how it works – at least I think so. Hopefully in two and a half years we will all be ready to graduate and give our colleagues in the factory a helping hand. From now on we will report regularly about the experiences during the training. See you soon! Your Alex
