Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
After the course you should be able to apply your knowledge in clean room instrumentation to different clean room processes and to be able to collaborate with other users in such a way that both parties can benefit from it. This means you should be able to:
- Describe and explain how the instrumentation of the NanoFabLab works and how it can be used.
- Design the different steps for a specific process and choose the appropriate parameters for each step.
- Identify the most appropriate instrument that will let you evaluate each step of a given process.
- Document the different processes in such a way that other users can benefit from it.
