Microelectronic devices are found in an ever-growing number of everyday items such as phones, cars, clothing, and medical products, and ongoing development efforts are aimed to reduce size, increase performance, improve energy efficiency, and integrate into new application areas. The goal of the course is to provide understanding of the fundamental processes used for fabrication and testing of such devices in academia and industry. The course will consist of lectures and hands-on experiences in the VINSE cleanroom and analytical labs, covering topics of thin film deposition, etching, lithography, and characterization. Prior knowledge of these technologies is not required by the participants. By the end of the course, each student will construct and test a simple microelectronic device.
