Copied: Visualizing cleanroom fabrication
Description:
Students will learn how to visualize cleanroom fabrication processes and devices and use the visualizations to learn how devices are fabricated.
Intended Learning Outcomes:
- Visualize microfabrication processes
- Design cleanroom process flow
- Visualize devices
- Assess and optimize someone else's process flow

Additional information
The overall idea is that students first "play around" and get familiar with the software.
This will hopefully inspire them and enable them to write the first rough draft of a process flow.
Then peer feedback intended to start a collaborate optimization of their designs (a good real-life exercise).
We as teacher and TA only come into the picture in the end, in order to clear up any fundamental misunderstandings or 'group think' that may have occurred.
