A unit of study in the Graduate Certificate of Engineering (Advanced Manufacturing Technology) Master of Technology (Advanced Manufacturing Technology) Master of Engineering (Advanced Manufacturing Technology) Master of Engineering Science (Advanced Manufacturing Technology) and an elective unit of study in: Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) Bachelor of Engineering (Robotics and Mechatronics)
This unit will assist the student in attaining a basic understanding of the complete sequence in the nanofabrication process from design through to fabricated structure including basic metrology and characterization. After successfully completing this course, the student should be able to: Bring awareness of a variety of nanofabrication techniques (e.g. nanolithography, self assembled monolayers, replica molding etc.) Develop an understanding on the limitation of conventional microtechnologies in the context of nanofabrication Gain advanced knowledge in novel nanostructures (e.g. carbon nanotubes, Nanowires, nano porous structures etc) Apply the knowledge and skills in nanostructures in development of new nano devices Evaluate the importance of nanocharacterization methods and their selection rules for a given application.
