Aims
At the end of the course, the students will be able to :
- understand the fabrication processes of electronic and electromechanical devices at micro and nanometer scales,
- use the numerical simulation tools for running and optimizing fabrication processes,
- make themselves micro and nanofabrication steps in cleanrooms
Main themes
Identical to the contents of the course
Content and teaching methods
The content of this course is the following : decription of fabrication processes for semiconductor integrated devices and circuits, material deposition methods, oxidation, implantation, doping, photolithography, electron-beam lithography, wet ande dry etching, plasma surface treatments, etc.
A first project based on the use of numerial simulation tools will help the students to learn more about modelling of fabrication procedures and characterization of integrated devices.
The students will have the opportunity to realize some key fabrication steps of a particular complete process flow in the cleanroom facilities during a second project.
Other information (prerequisite, evaluation (assessment methods), course materials recommended readings, ...)
5-6 classroom lectures will be given about the main micro and nanofabrication as well as characterization (electrical and physical) techniques. Afterwards, the students will make 2 projects in groups of 2-3 students depending on the chose subject : (1) process simulations, (2) fabrication/characterization in cleanrooms.
Prerequisites :
Basic knowledges in electronics, solid-state physics and chemistry
Assessment :
Oral presentation and writing of a report (about 15-20 pages written as a journal article) for the 2 projects approved by the teachers.
Could be given in English
