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.

Course Intro course TPT Lithography Mask Designing TPT SEM TPT Dry Etch TPT Thin Film Ph.d. course no. 10868 "Methods in micro and nanofabrication"
Mandatory ... for working inside the cleanroom for working with lithography no for getting access to SEMs at Nanolab building 346 and 314/307 for getting access to dry etch equipment for getting access to thinfilm deposition/growth equipment for ph.d. students at Nanolab
Short Course description 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. The course is recommended all users who intend to design their own masks for lithography. the course includes theory on SEM, as well as training in instrument operation. The course is for all users who intend to perform any kind of SEM related process and is a prerequisite for training in any of the SEM at Nanolab (building 346/314/307). the course includes theory on dry etching and equipment, as well as training in equipment operation in the cleanroom. The course is for all users who intend to perform any kind of plasma dry etching in the cleanroom, and is a prerequisite for training in any of the plasma dry etch equipment. This is a theoretical course introducing the deposition and growth techniques available at DTU NAnolab. The 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. This is a course aimed at PhD students new to work in the DTU Nanolab cleanroom. The objective is to accelerate research projects by providing a fast track learning towards hands-on cleanroom fabrication. To attend the course you MUST have a PhD project (or similar) that require you to work in the DTU Nanolab cleanroom.
Schedule and How to sign up See home page

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).
  • Sign up via Q&E session Doodle

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).
  • Sign up via Training session Doodle
  • Self-study using screen cast videoes demonstrating the use of either CleWin og L-edit.
  • An exercise where you are guided through the design of a mask.
  • All materials are provided on the TPT Mask design page, see link below .
  • An optional ½ hour Q&A session with an expert on mask layout. You can make an appointment after finishing the exercise.

Theoretical part

  • A 3-hour lecture. The next lectures will be held Monday the 9th of September 2019 from 9:00 to 12:00. Sign up here: SEM lecture

Practical part

  • A 2-hour training session, max. 3 persons per session will be planed after the lecture
  • A 2-hour one-on-one hands-on session which will request the participant to pass a “driving test” on the SEM. In this session, the participant will have the opportunity to study their own sample

Theoretical part

  • 3-hour lecture videos.
  • After seeing the videos you must attend a Question&Evaluation session (1-1½ hour), max. 3 persons per session, Please sign up via: Dry Etch TPT Lecture doodle.
  • The Question&Evaluation session takes place in room: 347-078

Practical part

  • 1½ hour video explaining the equipment software.
  • A 2 hour training session, max. 3 persons per session will be planed after the Question&Evaluation session.
