Prototyping in the Micro and Nano Scale 2006

Objective

The proposed six short training courses and the final workshop, offered in this series of events, are all related to the microelectronic manufacturing and the interdisciplinary aspect of the transition from the "conventional" microfabrication methods (Clean Rooms) to the new environments that will incorporate novel materials and methods under development by various nanotechnologies. Trainees will be exposed to the required theoretical background, and get direct hands-on experience in different aspects of microfabrication and nanofabrication.

The proposed series of events will cover the "conventional" approach and extend into the various interdisciplinary aspects of nanotechnologies. The courses will illuminate the need for integration of the procedures, and thus lead to a significant step in educating scientists for work in a future nanoelectronic fab in Europe. It should be noted that the materials, methods, and equipment commonly used in nanotechnology are not always compatible with the conventional microelectronic manufacturing in "clean room environments", and not necessarily scalable to circuits comparable to present VLSI electronics. This series of events will address these issues.

All these will be emphasized in the following two-week courses:
1. Basic Microelectronic processing;
2. Organic polymer electro-optic nano-devices;
3. e-beam based tools for device/materials characterization (FIB-TEM);
4. Growth and structural characterization of semiconductor nanostructures (MBE);
5. Single electron transistors, Photonic Crystals and nanotools;
6. Electrical and optical characterization of nanodevices.

The courses will be followed by a three-day workshop (conference type) on the convergence of conventional microelectronics and nanotechnology.
