Course

Unit I

Electronics, transport in nanoscale and cryogenics (5 sessions)

Digital electronics demonstrating logical gates using commercial ICs (ex: 7404 & 7408). Hands of experiments involving electronic transport in nanoscale materials (quantum dots, nanowires, carbon nanotubes), low temperature and high temperature measurements.

Unit II

Nanofabrication and characterization (5 sessions)

Lithography process and device fabrication, ensemble and isolated nanostructures electrical and photonic characterizations.

Unit III

PCB design and cleanroom usage training (5 sessions)

PCB design and fabrication (ex: design using EsayEDA or similar platform). Exposure to cleanroom protocols and usage.

Pre-requisites: Basic understanding of experimental research

Total number of lab sessions: 15

Course Outcomes:

• Electronic transport characterization of nanomaterials with hands on experience.
• Will be trained to use cryogenic systems and materials characterization at low and high temperatures.
• Will be able to handle Laser based lithography systems to design nanoscale devices in the clean room environment.
• PCB design and fabrication will be explored.
