E SC 215: Nanotechnology Applications

Collection description:
This collection, from the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support (NACK) Center at Pennsylvania State University), includes materials from the undergraduate laboratory course titled Nanotechnology Applications. The following five units are included in the course:

1. Material Fabrication Utilizing Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD)
2. Material Fabrication Utilizing Dry Etch Chemistry
3. Advanced Etch Systems
4. Oxidation and Dielectric Materials
5. Organic Solar Cells

Course Contents:
Each unit includes a number of lectures and associated laboratory activities that can be viewed separately or downloaded in .ppt and .pdf formats. Lectures provide in-depth coverage of each topic, including illustrations, examples, and comprehensive information. Each lab includes a variety of information, such as an objective, background information, a detailed procedure, charts and tables, and follow-up questions. Course lectures are available to view separately.

The following labs are included:

• Microfluidics
• Furnace Oxidation
• Ion Implantation simulation
• Stiction Overview and Demonstration
• Spin on Doping and Four Point Probe
• Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell
• Synthesis of Colloidal Gold Nanoparticles in Solution

For orientation purposes E SC 215 Unit 2 Lecture 1 is included as a separate attachment and offers a sample of the type of material included in this course.
