Nanofabrication  

NANOFABRICATION ENG5174 Academic Session: 2023-24 School: School of Engineering Credits: 10 Level: Level 5 (SCQF level 11) Typically Offered: Semester 1 Available to Visiting Students: No Short Description This course* will introduce students to the principles and practice of nanofabrication. It covers lithography, pattern transfer, inspection and electrical testing; the students complete a short fabrication project during the course. *Only register for this course if you have an immediate need for semiconductor fabrication cleanroom training - for instance for initial training of PhD students planning to work in the James Watt Nano-fabrication Centre. It will be a poor fit for students interested in semiconductor fabrication in general. The course ENG5055 Micro & Nano Technology is offered to give that more general background and will be a better fit for the majority of students. Timetable A four hour block comprising lecture and laboratory session once per week. Excluded Courses None Co-requisites None Assessment 20% Written Assignment 30% Oral presentation 50% Report Main Assessment In: December Course Aims The aims of this course are to: ■ guide the students through a short nanofabrication project ; ■ give the students a broad understanding of nanofabrication technologies; ■ give the students practical experience in using a range of nanofabrication technology. Intended Learning Outcomes of Course By the end of this course students will be able to: ■ effectively operate a range of nanofabrication tools; ■ appreciate how each tool works and the Physics and Chemistry of the processes involved; ■ design multi-step processes to fabricate simple nanoscale objects; ■ carry out multistep nanofabrication processes with an appropriate level of skill. Minimum Requirement for Award of Credits Students must submit at least 75% by weight of the components of the course's summative assessment. Students must attend the timetabled laboratory classes. Students should attend at least 75% of the timetabled classes of the course. Note that these are minimum requirements: good students will achieve far higher participation/submission rates. Any student who misses an assessment or a significant number of classes because of illness or other good cause should report this by completing a MyCampus absence report.
