Semiconductor and Nanotech Overview NSMT 1010

This course is an overview of the semiconductor and nanotechnology production and tailoring of the materials used in
nanofabrication. It covers the essential foundations required to understand the operation of semiconductor devices such
as transistors, diodes, solar cells, light-emitting devices, and more.The course will cover semiconductors and
nanomaterials processing, including modules on the basics of silicon manufacturing backend chip processing, integration
into electronics and high technology applications. The course will include tours of actual semiconductor and electronics
manufacturing facilities industry as well as thin film and materials laboratories at local universities. It will also cover
physical and chemical vapor deposition techniques such as sputtering, oxidation, and thermal and electron beam
evaporation. The course gives students experience in producing a wide variety of materials tailored for their mechanical,
electrical, optical, magnetic, and biological properties.
