  • SMT 212: Basic Nanofabrication Process

    3.00 Credits
    Lehigh Carbon Community College

    Provides an overview of basic processing steps in Nanofabrication. The majority of the course details a step-by-step description of the equipment and processes needed to fabricate devices and structures. Processing flow will be examined for structures such as microelectromechanical (MEM) devices, biomedical "lab-on-a-chip" structures, display devices, and microelectronic devices including diode, transistor, and full CMOS structures. Students will learn the similarities and differences in both equipment and process flow for each configuration by undertaking "hands-on" processing.

  • SMT 214: Lithography for Nanofab

    3.00 Credits
    Lehigh Carbon Community College

    Covers all aspects of lithography from design and mask fabrication to pattern transfer and inspection. The course is divided into three major sections. The first section describes the lithographic process from substrate preparation to exposure. Most of the emphasis will be on understanding then nature and behavior of photoresist materials. The second section examines the process from development through inspection (both before and after pattern transfer). This section will introduce optical masks, aligners, steppers and scanners. In addition, critical dimension (CD) control and profile control of photoresists will be investigated. The last section will discuss advanced optical lithographic techniques such as phase shifting masks and illumination schemes as well as e-beam, e-ray, EUV, and ion beam lithography.

  • SOC 150: Introduction to Sociology

    3.00 Credits
    Lehigh Carbon Community College

    This course introduces students to the scientific study of society. We examine the way our society is structured and the social inequalities that shape the lives of different classes, racial and ethnic groups, and genders. We explore how social institutions create these inequalities and how they teach us to understand and take action in our world. We study some of the consequences of globalization for work, wealth, inequality, migration, and social change.
