Course Goal / Objective
The aim of this course is to familiarize students with nanofabrication processes and basic techniques of nanotechnology. Students will study methods such as lithography, thin film coating, etching, self-assembly and their applications in depth. They will also learn about the fabrication of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and molecular nanostructures.
Course Content
This course covers the basic principles and applications of nanofabrication techniques. Methods such as lithography, thin film coating, electrodeposition, thermal spray processes will be taught, with emphasis on applications in nanostructure fabrication and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). Advanced topics such as etching techniques, self-assembly and fabrication of molecular nanostructures will also be covered.
Course Precondition
There is no prerequisite for this course.
