This self-study course is designed to be taken at your
convenience, and on your own schedule. You have
90
days to finish the course once you begin.
This course provides you with an introduction to nanofabrication
techniques. It discusses some of the techniques used in the design
and manufacture of nanoscale devices and systems as well as the
processes and process tools used in a state-of-the-art
nanofabrication laboratory.
Nanomanufacturing encompasses all manufacturing activities that
support the controlled modification, manipulation, and assembly of
nanoscale objects for fabricating a product to engineering
specifications. Nanomanufacturing is the production of nanoscaled
materials, which can be powders or fluids. It also covers the
manufacturing of parts "bottom-up" from nanoscaled materials or
"top down" in small steps for high precision, used in several
technologies such as laser ablation, and etching.
You will learn
- Various Nanomanufacturing techniques and methods
- The concept of self-assembly in reference to nanoparticles and
structures
- The challenges of controlling the synthesis of
Nano-structures
- How NEMS (Nano Electro Mechanical Systems) are
manufactured
- Which tools and technologies are used to work with
nanostructures
- How to create nanomanufacturing experiments
Who should attend
Engineers and managers who wish to learn more about the
applications used in nanomanufacturing.
