This course provides an introduction to the emerging field of nanoscience and will begin with the basics of scale and focus on the micro and nanometer range. It studies the field of nanotechnology, the capability to observe and manipulate systems at the molecular or atomic scale, and how nanotechnology affects all of the traditional sciences. It provides an introduction to the history, tools, materials, and current and emerging applications of nanotechnology. It is designed to provide a general introduction to: 1) underlying scientific basis for the behavior of nanomaterials, 2) scope of nanomaterials potential use in products manufactured by various industries, and 3) methods of fabrication and characterization of nanomaterials.

3.00 Credits
This is the second semester of a two semester course sequence designed to expose students to the new and rapidly emerging fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology. It is designed to establish a basic understanding of the: 1) characterization and analysis techniques utilized to study nanomaterials and 2) specific applications and examples of nanomaterials in the various industry areas. Similar to the first semester NANO 101 course, this course will continue the investigation into nanoscale science with the emphasis on chemistry and physics applications. Feasibility of implementation will be covered as well as the development of a nanoscale understanding of properties such as color, magnetism, electrical forces, strength, and rigidity. Atomic structure, bonding, photonics, quantum effects, and wave/particle structure will be discussed with a focus on nanotechnology. A strong emphasis will be placed on new developments in nanotechnology.

3.00 Credits
This course covers the state-of-the-art processes currently used for the fabrication of microelectronic and nanoelectronic devices. Students will learn to qualify and use semiconductor process equipment, inspect devices and perform electrical measurements on semiconductor devices. Considerations such as cost, manufacturing methodology, and societal impacts will be covered. Approaches for the development of quantum computers, holographic memories, and biological systems will also be discussed. This course is designed to increase the depth of topics and discussion of those covered in prior courses. Additional topics could include a more in-depth treatment of quantum physics with coverage of band structure, conduction, diffusion, thin film response and optical properties from a modern physics perspective. Application of nanoscale principles will be used to discuss such topics as imprint lithography, etching, component block assembly of nanotransistors, quantum computing, magnetic and electron spin memory and holographic memory devices.

This course will cover multiple manufacturing methodologies (e.g., chemical solutions, electro-filament, molding, coating, rolling, etc.), first in the traditional sense and second as these techniques apply to the nanoscale. Quality Assurance practices will be discussed with an emphasis on QA and reliability at the nanoscale. Emphasis will also be placed on statistical process control (SPC), design of experiments (DOE), gage repeatability and reliability, statistical significance, correlation, team-based problem solving, failure mode analysis, theory of inventive thinking, graphical statistical analysis, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and an introduction to ISO certification. The course will provide a thorough understanding of the operations within a cleanroom environment and the challenges faced by cleanroom staff. In addition, the course will address management of the daily operations of a cleanroom, review of supply and garment usage, the efficiency of cleaning methods and overall cleanroom management. This course provides practical information on contamination control and cleanroom management. Extensive guidance is presented for the critical daily aseptic maintenance and housekeeping functions necessary to maintain the cleanliness levels required.

3.00 Credits
This is a second year nanotechnology course intended to expose students to the fundamentals of nanomaterials and coatings. The student will gain a basic understanding of both organic and inorganic films, ranging from thin film properties to actual processing. This course is designed to expose students to some of the more common thin-film processing and analysis techniques, specifically vacuum-based processing and analysis. Insight into thin film technology will be gained by a practical, thorough introduction to microelectromechanical (MEMS) applications, technologies, design, fabrication, characterization and reliability. Students will gain the insight into the advantages of nanomaterials over bulk materials and how various industries are leveraging these properties. As nanotechnology is such a diverse field, examples will range from everyday applications (DVD¿s) to futuristic concepts (nanoparticles to cure diseases).
