This course is a hands-on micro-nano fabrication course. The student will be assigned a process topic including but not limited to spinning, exposure, PVD, RIE or ICP DRIE etching. Through in-lab training, the student will fabricate patterned test samples with micron scale resolution, then run a parameter study on the process. The student will then characterize the samples (SEM, profilometery, etc), analyze the results, and present the results for review. A report of the work accomplished, process used, and results will be provided for review. Students enrolled in this course will have a unique opportunity to fabricate and characterize micro-nano samples using modern techniques and equipment. Pre-requisites: Previously taken or concurrently enrolled in ME487 OR ME 586 OR ME 588 OR ECE444.
