一、課程說明(Course Description)

Using micro fabrication technology to fabricate micro sensors, micro
structures, and micro actuators. This course teaches 12 fundamental and
advance MEMS fabrication techniques, including cleaning procedure, lithography,
thermal oxidation, lift off process, e-beam evaporation, reactive ion etching,
wet chemical etching, micro electroplating, thick PR lithography, anodic
bonding, wafer dicing, wire bonding, and standard process parameter testing
techniques. The final goal will use those techniques to fabricate 12 different
micro structures, sensors, and actuators, including accelerometer, humidity
sensor, temperature sensor, micro mirror, micro cantilever, thermal actuator,
flow sensor, micro channel, micro mixer, micro filter, and bulk etching testing
structures, etc. Students will be broken into 4 groups, and each group (~5
students) must finish the fabrication process of 3 wafers. This course is offered in English.
