The unit will provide theoretical and practical training to lay the foundations for nanofabrication, especially as it applies to photonic quantum information processing. Nanofabrication techniques and metrology tools will be covered in the lectures. A lithographic design tool (CAD) will be exploited to design lithographic masks. Practical sessions, comprising lithography, etching and microscopy tools, will provide students with extensive hands-on training.
Aim: To provide an overview of nano-engineering capabilities and challenges. To enable students to map a fabrication flow given a device idea. Understand system limitations, what can and cannot be made
Upon completion of this unit, students should:
Teaching will be delivered through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous sessions, including lectures, practical activities supported by drop-in sessions, problem sheets and self-directed exercises.
