635 108 - Micro and Nano Fabrication |
Students will learn atomic structure and the periodic table, particularly as related to semiconductors; the meaning of semiconductor materials, their functions and use; differences between single crystal and polycrystalline materials; operations of diffusion and thin film deposition and how photolithography and masking work in the semiconductor process; oxidation process; etching, including wet and dry etching and photoresist stripping; doping, including diffusion techniques and ion implantation; thin film deposition, including CVD, LPCVD and metallization methods; wafer terminology, testing, evaluation, and yield factors. Supporting lab activity covers the basic process steps to make top-down micro and nanoscaled structures. Specific topics include oxidation, photolithography, electron beam lithography, chemical vapor deposition, etching, rapid thermal annealing, wet chemical etching and plasma etching. Students will build a micro mechanicalstructure as part of the lab.
