Course Objective

The aim of this course is to introduce the central concepts of nanolithography, provide an explanation of the fundamental principles and example applications of nanolithography techniques. Course covers first traditional techniques, including electron beam lithography, focused ion beam, plasma-assisted pattern transfer, optical lithography, and soft x-ray lithography. Then describes new and emerging methods, such as nanoimprint lithography, scanning probe lithography, two-photon lithography, self assembly, plasmonic nanolithography, and deterministic doping. Finally discusses how nanofabrication processes are used in electronics.
