Description:
This team is eligible for senior design.
In this project, student teams will design and implement experiments using various micro/nano-fabrication technologies. Each team will address one or more unit process steps, or a process integration challenge defined in collaboration with faculty members, engineers, and graduate students at the Birck Nanotechnology Center.
The student team will implement and document fabrication steps and analysis techniques, including definition of process parameter space, design of test patterns for monitoring key material/performance parameters, characterization approaches and statistical analysis of both process parameters and electrical test results.
Relevant Technologies:
- Semiconductor device physics, design, fabrication, and characterization
- Statistical process control (SPC)
- Advanced packaging and heterogeneous integration (APHI)
- Reliability physics, testing, and analysis
- Radiation hardening
Prerequisite Knowledge/Skills:
- ECE 20001 Electrical Engineering Fundamentals 1 OR Equivalent course work/knowledge/experience
- Open to all engineering majors, sophomore and up. Freshman may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
All prospective Students:
