PVD Uniformity Analysis

This 7-page lab guide, created by by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Network at Pennsylvania State University, features an activity where students "analyze the thicknesses of a series of aluminum thin films deposited in the Cooke thermal evaporator." The lab guide includes objectives, an introduction to Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) and the Cooke thermal evaporator, step-by-step directions to the lab activity itself, and post-lab questions to test student comprehension.
