MFT 213 - Materials in Nanotechnology


Credits: 3
2 Lecture Hours 2 Lab Hours

Prerequisites: MFT 211 , MFT 212  
Co-requisites: MFT 214  

Description
(Formerly MFT-213) This course covers hands-on exposure to the producing and positioning of the materials used in nanofabrication. This will include self-assembly, colloidal chemistry, atmosphere, low-pressure and plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. It will also include atomic layer deposition, sputtering, thermal and electron beam evaporation, nebulization and spin-on techniques. The course provides students with experience in deposition, fabricating and self-assembly for a variety of materials.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will:

  1. Apply proper safety and cleanroom behavior.
  2. Explain the process of chemical vapor deposition.
  3. Create mixed phase solids with anon-structures.
  4. Recognize the effects of thermal annealing.
  5. Examine process controls.
  6. Fabricate a dye sensitized photovoltaic cell.
  7. Identify the peak absorbance wave lengths of cells.
  8. Evaluate optical and structural properties of nanoparticles.
  9. Analyze structures using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).
  10. Describe and apply statistical process control.
