Thin Film Tool Package Training
DTU Nanolab offers a Tool Package Training for Thin Film Techniques (TPT Thin Film). You are required to pass this course, in order to get access to thin film equipment inside the DTU Nanolabs cleanroom facility. The course includes theory on thin film growth and deposition processes. The theory part consists of lecture videos followed by quizzes for each section. Once completed successfully, you can request hands-on training for the equipment inside the cleanroom via training@nanolab.dtu.dk.
The course is available via DTU Learn. You sign up for the course by enrolling yourself in the course here.
Course Layout
- Online lecture videos (theory)
- Quizzes for each section
- Individual hands-on training (specific equipment)
Individual ands on training can be requested via training@nanolab.dtu.dk.

Theoretical part
1st lecture (2 - 2½ hours):
The next lecture will be held on the 17th of April 2024 from 10-12 The lecture will be held in room 011 in building 451. Sign up for the next lecture here in DTU Learn: https://learn.inside.dtu.dk/d2l/le/discovery/view/course/56079. In DTU Learn, you first have to sign yourself up for the course and then enroll yourself in each of the two lectures under “Groups”. You can also send an email to thinfilm@nanolab.dtu.dk, if you want to attend the lecture. 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.
