Lithography Tool Package Training

DTU Danchip offers a Tool Package Training in Lithography; the course includes theory on lithographic processes and equipment, as well as training in equipment operation and processing in the cleanroom.

The course is for all users that intend to perform any kind of lithographic processing in the cleanroom, and is a prerequisite for training in other lithography equipment.

For details, dates, and course material, please check the course description under Courses.

Lithography Tool Package Training
Schedule	Theoretical part Lecture videos that can be viewed at one's leisure. A 1 hour "questions and exercises" session 2 times a month (typically Fridays 09:30-10:30). Practical part A 3-4 hour training session 2 times a month, max. 4 persons per session (typically Wednesdays 09:00 - 12:30 or 10:00 - 13:30).
Location	Theoretical part The location of the "questions and exercises" session will be specified after signing up for the course. Practical part The training session takes place inside the cleanroom. The meeting point will be in front of the first equipment.
Qualified Prerequisites	Cleanroom safety course at DTU Danchip Admission to the cleanroom must be obtained before the training session Theoretical part must be completed before the training session
Preparations	Before the "questions and exercises" session Read Sami Franssila "Introduction to Microfabrication" (2010), Chapter 9: Optical Lithography. (Available online from DTU campus) Watch the lecture videos (7 videos, 2:41 hours in total). Write down any questions that may arise during the videos. Before training session Complete the theoretical part (Q&E) Watch the training videos of spin coating (automatic), exposure (operation, and alignment), and development (automatic). Study the equipment manuals. The manuals are available in LabManager. Study the TPT process flows (first print, and alignment).
Course Responsible	The Lithography Group at DTU Nanolab lithography@danchip.dtu.dk.
Learning Objectives	Describe fundamental parts of lithographic processing in a cleanroom, design of process flows Authorization to use spin coater, mask aligner, and developer at DTU Danchip Calculate relevant process parameters Analyze and apply your results of lithographic processing
