What we can offer

Training

Basic micro-fabrication training module

A comprehensive training module including both theoretical course and practical demonstration. This is specially designed to new users who has no prior experience on micro-fabrication of semiconductor, glass or polymer optical waveguide/devices.

The module divided into 2 parts:

1. Lithography processing and application (theoretical course)
        - What is lithography
        - Different steps of lithography processing (starting from sample cleaning)
        - positive and negative resist
        - lift-off process and etching
        - other related processing techniques
2. Processing demonstration (Practical session)
        several processing techniques will be demonstrated including:
        - clean room entry procedures
        - resist processing ( spinning, softbake, expose and development)
        - chemical treatment
        - step profiler usage (Tencor alpha step profiler 500)
        - film deposition by thermal evaporation (Edwards Auto 360)

Advanced/ Individual Equipment training module
