IBM Japan has developed a card game called “The Game” as a hands-on learning tool for learning semiconductor design through a simulated experience.
IBM Japan will develop semiconductor design talent in Japan through learning through card games, mainly at IBM Regional DX Centers that are deployed nationwide. As part of this, the company will hold a free semiconductor design seminar using card games, hosted by Kitakyushu City University in Kitakyushu City.
The development and manufacturing process of semiconductor chips consists of three stages: the “design process” in which requirements are defined and wiring circuits are designed based on them, the “front-end process” in which electronic circuits are formed on semiconductor wafers based on the design, and the “back-end process” in which the chips are cut and assembled.
As the shortage of talent in the semiconductor industry becomes a major problem, expanding education in both technical and business aspects and increasing the number of semiconductor design talent working in semiconductor-related companies will lead to the growth of the semiconductor industry.
