Course Goal / Objective
This course aims to gain an in-depth understanding of vacuum science and technology. It will also provide an introduction to vacuum components, measurements, design and basic principles needed to achieve high and ultra-high vacuum. Students will develop the fundamentals of vacuum technology for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, learn the relationship between vacuum science and Nanoscience, vacuum creation, pumps for high and ultra-high vacuum applications, mass analysis and pressure measurements in vacuum, system design and components, high and ultra-high vacuum based processes, sputter coating fundamentals, ion beam sputter coating, Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE), nanofabrication in MBE, pulsed laser coating and plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition.
Course Content
This course addresses the relationship between vacuum science and nanoscience, starting from the fundamentals of vacuum technology for nanoscience and nanotechnology. It covers topics such as vacuum creation, pumps for high and ultra-high vacuum applications, mass analysis and pressure measurements in vacuum. In addition, system design, high and ultra-high vacuum based processes, modern coating and fabrication techniques such as sputter coating, ion beam sputter coating, Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE), nanofabrication, pulsed laser coating and plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition will be introduced.
Course Precondition
There is no prerequisite for this course.
