This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, will "help students understand how chemical reactions are used to create the specific shapes on surfaces of crystalline materials, which make up functional components within electronics." The wet etching process is used...

In this video, created by Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), viewers can watch an animation on the wet oxidation process. This animation "illustrates the chemistry of a wet thermal oxidation process that is used to grow silicon dioxide (SiO2) on a silicon (Si) wafer. In a wet...

In this video, created by Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), viewers can watch an animation on the difference between wet and dry thermal oxidation processes. This animation "shows a side by side comparison of a wet oxidation process vs. a dry oxidation process. Both processes use an...

In this video from the Nanotechnology Application and Career Knowledge Support Center (NACK Center), 4th-year graduate student Yuja Zhai (Jerry) discusses a spectroscopic technique. This "technique [is] based on infrared spectroscopy that can be used to characterize the chemical species adsorbed on...

The Materials Science and Technology Teacher's Workshop (MAST) provides this experiment on the reactivity of metals. The module will help illustrate the chemistry of metals and how metals are used together to prevent corrosion. The lesson includes a step by step explanation of the laboratory...
