Nickie's Story

Nickie Mpofu '24 interned with Semiconductor Technologies Limited (STL), a Kenyan startup focused on semiconductor manufacturing in the summer of 2024.

 
My internship with Semiconductor Technologies Limited (STL), a Kenyan startup focused on semiconductor manufacturing. I worked for the team as a Processing Engineer. I specialized in front-end-of-line (FEOL) processes, which are crucial in the early stages of semiconductor fabrication, mainly thin film processing and analysis. I also collaborated with a team on machine design and maintenance within the facility.
