Thin Film TPT

DTU Nanolab offers a Tool Package Training (TPT) course in thin film growth and deposition techniques.

Users that have to use any thin film growth and/or deposition tools in the cleanroom will have to sign up for the lectures, before they apply for a training (i.e. it is possible to get a training and then attend the lectures afterwards).

Thin film tool package training (TPT)
Schedule	Theoretical part 1st lecture (2 - 2½ hours): Introduction to thin films Before you start - Material properties to consider Overview of thin film techniques at DTU Nanolab Equipment overview in LabAdviser Thin film techniques – 1st part: Thermal oxidation Sign up for the next lecture here: https://nanolab.doodle.com/poll/k4pdm2n4bpseww5e. No lecture will be held in August 2023. The next lectures will be held the 6th of September and on the 20th of September. Please note that the Thin Film TPT course is mandatory for all new users that need to use thin film tools in the cleanroom, but it is possible to apply for a training before you attend the lecture, if you send an email to training@nanolab.dtu.dk. 2nd lecture (3 - 3½ hours): Thin film techniques – 2nd part: PVD (physical vapour deposition) E-beam evaporation Thermal evaporation Sputtering CVD (chemical vapour depostion) LPCVD (low pressure chemical vapour deposition) PECVD (plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition) ALD (atomic layer deposition) Sign up for the next lecture here: https://nanolab.doodle.com/poll/4r3ydwzzbrdepgpf No lecture will be held in August 2023. Two lectures will be held in September: On the 11th of September and on the 27th of September. Please note that the Thin Film TPT course is mandatory for all new users that need to use thin film tools in the cleanroom, but it is possible to apply for a training before you attend the lecture, if you send an email to training@nanolab.dtu.dk. Practical part None
