-
2.00 Credits
This course will provide in depth experience in laboratory techniques, data acquisition and analysis in the field of Optical Physics. Experiments are of a more advanced grade than those given at the general or intermediate level. Each experiment will be an extended piece of careful, thorough work, culminating in a detailed report. Appropriate for students majoring in the Biological, Earth, Environmental, Health, Mathematics and Physical sciences.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to scientific computational methods and their application in physics. A range of numerical and symbolic computing techniques will be explored, including numerical integration, matrix methods, differential equations, random walks, and Monte Carlo simulations. These techniques together with visualization methods will be used to solve problems taken from different physics topics, such as classical mechanics, electricity and magnetism, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and biophysics.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
A unique and specifically focused course within the general purview of a department which intends to offer it on a "one time only" basis and not as a permanent part of the department's curriculum.
-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
A workshop is a program which is usually of short duration, narrow in scope, often non-traditional in content and format, and on a timely topic.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
A Selected Topics course is a normal, departmental offering which is directly related to the discipline, but because of its specialized nature, may not be able to be offered on a yearly basis by the department.
-
3.00 Credits
Electric fields and potentials of charge distributions and polarized materials, magnetic fields and vector potentials of current distributions and magnetized materials; electric and magnetic energies and application of Maxwell's equations.
-
1.00 Credits
This course explores the applications of Quantum mechanics and relativity. Topics covered will include atomic physics, quantum statistics, solid state physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics and cosmology.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides an overview of basic nanofabrication processing equipment and materials handling procedures with a focus on safety, environment, and health issues. Topics covered include: cleanroom operation, environmental, safety, and health issues, vacuum pump systems operation, environmental safety and health issues (covering direct drive mechanical, roots blowers, turbomolecular, and dry mechanical systems); thermal- processing equipment operation, safety, environmental, and health issues (covering horizontal, vertical, rapid thermal annealing tools); chemical vapor deposition system operation, safety, environmental, and health issues (covering gas delivery, corrosive and flammable gas storage and plumbing, regulators, and mass flow controllers); and vacuum deposition/etching system operation, safety, environment, and health issues (covering microwave and RF power supplies and tuners, heating and cooling units, vacuum gauges, valves, and process controllers). Specific materials handling issues include those arising from using deionization water, solvents, cleansers, organic materials, ion implementation sources, diffusion sources, photoiesists, developers, metal dielectrics and toxic, flammable, corrosive and high purity gases as well as packaging materials.
-
3.00 Credits
The course provides an overview of basic processing steps used in all applications of nanofabrication. Both top-down and bottom-up nanofabrication are included. The majority of the course details a step-by-step description of the equipment and processes needed to fabricate devices and structures such as bio- chips, CMOS transistors, power devices, microelectromechanical (MEM) devices, and opto-electronic structures. Students learn the similarities and differences in both the equipment and process flows needed in fabricating all of these various structures.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers thin film deposition and etching practices in nanofabrication. The deposition techniques addressed in the first part of the course include atmospheric, low pressure, and plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition and sputtering, thermal evaporation, and beam evaporation physical vapor deposition. Also included are self-assembling molecule based techniques. Materials considered include organics, dielectrics (e.g., nitrides, oxides), polysilicon (doped and undoped), metals (e.g., aluminum, tungsten, copper), adhesion promoters and diffusion barriers. The second part of the course focuses on etching processes and emphasizes reactive ion etching (single wafer, batch), high-ion-density reactors, ion beam etching and wet chemical etching. Students receive hands-on experience in depositing and etching dielectric, semiconductor, and metal materials using state-of-the-art tools and experience practicing the steps critical to micro- and nanofabrication of structures used in a variety of fields from biotechnology and the biomedical fields to microelectronics.
