Nanofabrication is the design and manufacture of devices with dimensions measured in nanometers (nanotechnology). Nanofabrication (nanomanufacturing) is of interest to computer engineers because it opens the door to super-high-density microprocessors and memory chips. It has been suggested that each data bit could be stored in a single atom. Carrying this further, a single atom might even be able to represent a byte or word of data. Nanofabrication has also caught the attention of the medical industry, the military, and the aerospace industry. After completing Nanofabrication Techniques, students will be equipped with a basic understanding of the following: This course is for those who want to understand how to fabricate nanomachines. Students will be assigned 5 homework assignments, and 1 final exam. Optical lithography Electron beam lithography X-ray lithography and LIGA Nanoimprinting and Dip-pen lithography Thin film deposition Dry etching technologies Bulk and surface micromachining techniques for the fabrication of master molds Polymer processing for biomedical applications Scanning Probe Microscopy Near-field optical techniques for nanoscale fabrication and characterization Self-assembly and self-organization Integration of nanoscale biomedical devices and systems This course is Instructor-led and delivered through our award-winning online Learning Management System.
