MFT 211 - Material Safety and Equipment Overview
Credits: 3
2 Lecture Hours 2 Lab Hours
Co-requisites: MFT 212
Description
This course provides an overview of basic nanofabrication processing equipment and materials handling procedures with a focus on safety, environment and health issues. Topics covered include: operation in a cleanroom environment, operation and use of a variety of systems including vacuum pump systems, thermal processing equipment, chemical vapor deposition systems and vacuum deposition/ etching systems. Specific materials handling issues include those arising from using de-ionized water, solvents, cleansers, organic materials, ion implementation sources, diffusion sources, photo-resists, developers, metal dielectrics and toxic, flammable, corrosive and high purity gases as well as packaging materials.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will:
- Utilize proper safety and hygiene rules in nanofabrication processing.
- Explain the operation of vacuum pumps and measurement of vacuum pressure.
- Apply materials handling techniques.
