Description
Aims:
To give students an understanding of processes involved in the production of novel materials. To provide students with a systematic approach to the selection of material fabrication routes with applications to the biomedical, coating, fine chemical, food, microelectronic and semiconductor industries.
Learning Outcomes:
On completion of this course students are expected to:
- be aware of novel materials and recently developed material processes;
- understand essential concepts in materials science at multiple scales, from the molecules to manufacturing;
- be able to apply fundamental chemical engineering principles (such as transport phenomena, chemical kinetics, thermodynamics) in the design and operation of materials processes involving nanofabrication, templating, self-assembly
Synopsis:
To introduce the concepts of:
- Processes in the electronics industry:
- epitaxial & polycrystalline silicon production
- silicon doping
- microlithography
- chemical vapour deposition
- physical vapour deposition.
- Soft matter fundamentals & applications: Lipids, proteins, colloids, polymers, emulsions, self-assembly, thin-film processing, templating.
