MFT 215 - Materials Modification for Nanofabrication Applications


Credits: 3
2 Lecture Hours 2 Lab Hours

Prerequisites: MFT 211  and MFT 212  
Co-requisites: MFT 216  

Description
This course covers the processing steps used in modifying material properties in nanofabrication. Included are applications of nano-scale devices and systems and the resulting material chemical, physical, biological or multiple-property requirements. Use of diffusion barriers, encapsulation, electromigration control, corrosion control, wettability, stress control and adhesion are studied.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will:

  1. Apply proper safety and cleanroom behavior.
  2. Operate materials modification equipment in a nanofabrication facility.
  3. Evaluate thermal budget requirements for a typical project.
  4. Grow gate and field oxides and implants for drain and source regions.
  5. Use negative photolithography to produce microfluidic devices.
  6. Describe particle flow in Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) channels.
  7. Recognize materials modification using ion implantation.
  8. Make angle measurements and correlate these with surface treatments.
  9. Operate a spin coater.
