Materials, Thin Films and Coatings: Processing and Properties

Elements of micro and nanofabrication

Course Objectives

• Introduction to micro and nanofabrication techniques.
• Interactions between electrons/ions and matter.
• Interaction of X-ray radiation with matter.
• Alternative lithography and relation between top-down and bottom –p approaches
• Course Description

Short Description
The 4-6 hour course will be an introduction to micro and nanofabrication technique, tools and ideas.
We will review some of the most traditional techniques with a glance to new lithographic techniques such as nano imprinting lithography and 2 photon lithography. Some attention will be given to the instrumentation necessary to micro and nanofabrication. The course will present some relevant application of nano and microstructures as devices, including aspect of interest in basic research.

Who Should Attend?
The course is particularly designed for non specialists and PhD students. Moreover, it can be considered as introductory for scientist from other research fields.

Course Materials: A CD with the lectures will be released
