Brief Introduction
Learn the fundamentals of microfabrication and nanofabrication by using the most effective techniques in a cleanroom environment.
Description
Microfabrication and nanofabrication are the basis of manufacturing for nearly all modern miniaturized systems that are ubiquitously used in our daily life. Examples include; computer chips and integrated sensors for monitoring our environment, cars, mobile phones, medical devices and more.
Micro- and nanofabrication can be taught to students and professionals by textbooks and ex-cathedra lectures, but the real learning comes from seeing the manufacturing steps as they happen.
In this engineering course, we will go a step beyond classroom teaching to not only explain the basics of each fabrication step but also show you how it’s done through video sequences and zooming into the equipment.
Knowledge
- How to select the correct fabrication process for a specific micro-device or microsystem
- Establish the workflow for the cleanroom processes
- Identify how physical and chemical phenomena govern miniaturized systems for various applications
- Resource planning for a given microsystem fabrication
