NANO 213 - Materials in Nanotechnology

(3 credits)

Taught at The Pennsylvania State University - University Park Campus. An in-depth, hands-on exposure to the producing and tailoring of the materials used in nanofabrication. The course will cover chemical materials production techniques such as colloidal chemistry; atmosphere, low-pressure and plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition; nebulization; and atomic layer deposition. It will also cover physical techniques such as sputtering; thermal and electron beam evaporation; and spin-on approaches. This course is designed to give students experience in producing a wide variety of materials tailored for their mechanical, electrical, optical, magnetic, and biological properties. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 111, CHEM 122, PHYS 121, and MATH 122. Spring and Summer.
