Courses

We are building up a number of courses to educate our users in using the cleanroom facility and the equipment inside. Below you can see the courses that are presently running. The "Cleanroom introduction Course" is mandatory for all users that need to enter the cleanroom facility on their own. Then there is a number of TPT's (Tool Package Training Courses) that you need to attend depending on which kind of tool you need to use inside the facility.

The Cleanroom Introduction Course

For information regarding the Introduction Course, please take a look at the DTU Danchip homepage, a direct link is given here: [1]

The Lithography TPT

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.

Lithography Tool Package Training
Schedule	Theoretical part The lecture has been replaced by videos that can be viewed at one's leisure. A 1 hour "questions and exercises" session once or twice a month will be planned as needed (typically Fridays 09:30-10:30). NEXT "questions and exercises" sessions: 24th of March, 31st of March, 21st of April, 28th of April, 19th of May Practical part A 4-5 hour training session once a week, max. 4 persons per session (typically Wednesdays 09:00 - 14:00). NEXT training sessions: 29th of March, 5th of April, 26th of April, 3rd of May, 24th of May
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
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 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). Links to literature, lecture videos, training videos, equipment manuals, and process flows can be found in the "Knowledge and Information" section below.
Course Responsible	The Lithography Group at DTU Danchip. Sign up for the course by e-mailing to 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
