This is a laboratory course for chemical engineers, electrical engineers and chemists interested in chemical processing principles applied to microelectronic device fabrication. Key concepts originate from chemical kinetics; thermodynamics; mass and energy balances; transport of mass, momentum, and heat; and process synthesis and integration. Minimal prior training in microelectronics or chemistry is assumed. The course offers in-depth treatment of a limited number of experiments, with a substantial component of open-ended experimental design. Some experiments will be supplemented with commercial-grade computational modules set up not only to correlate and explain experimental results, but also to offer possibilities for design.
