	A crucial and often neglected part of each process flow is the characterization. After critical process steps you might need to analyze and measure the properties of produced structures, layers, materials or entire devices. Characterization techniques help you ensure that the fabricated components meet the required specifications and function correctly. There are many tools and methods available to inspect, analyze and measure the properties of features and materials such as physical, chemical, electrical, and mechanical properties.

	Below are some recommendations on how to set up a process flow and more information on the different parts of a process flow, including an overview of various process steps. You can then find more detailed information about equipment, processes and materials available on the specific subpages. We also recommended to have a look at the process log on [https://labmanager.dtu.dk/ www.labmanager.dtu.dk] for the specific machine to check which process parameters or programs other users (f.ex. group members) are using.
