Course description and aims

This course covers applications and various microfabrication methods to design and fabricate MEMS/NEMS devices. Methods include, patterning based on photolithography, deposition, etching (wet & dry), nanofabrication technologies, next-generation fabrication technologies, and the physics behind them. Enrollment preference is given to any students.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Acquire the baseline knowledge about the theory and methods of various microfabrication techniques based on photolithography, and the ability to apply for developing the MEMS/NEMS devices.
2) Design the basic level of MEMS/NEMS devices.
