Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
After the course you should be able to apply your knowledge in clean room instrumentation to different clean room processes and to be able to collaborate with other users in such a way that both parties can benefit from it. This means you should be able to:
- Describe and explain how the instrumentation of the NanoFabLab works and how it can be used.
- Design the different steps for a specific process and choose the appropriate parameters for each step.
- Identify the most appropriate instrument that will let you evaluate each step of a given process.
- Document the different processes in such a way that other users can benefit from it.
Literature and preparations
Specific prerequisites
Some experience of working in a lab, not necessarily a cleanroom. Good general science or technical education in Physics, Chemistry, Biophysics etc.
Recommended prerequisites
Equipment
Literature
Handouts via Nanophys web-site.
Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
Examination
- RAP1 - Report, 7.5 credits, grading scale: G
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
Other requirements for final grade
In order pass the course, each participant must:
- Attend all the seminars and meetings
- Carry out the two different group projects.
- Present the two group projects and his /her own project in such a way that the rest of the participants can follow and understand your process problems and solutions.
- Hand in a written report about the lab- projects following the guidelines.
Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination
Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed examination
Examiner
Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
