Royce Training: Practical Cleanroom Skills

This training course will explore basic practices and techniques for cleanroom use. Through a combination of taught lectures, discussion sessions, and practical training participants will gain fundamental skills for working in cleanrooms. The course will develop theoretical and practical knowledge in a wide range of cleanroom techniques including lithography, deposition, and etching; with participants using what they learn to fabricate a micron-scale Field Effect Transistor.

This unique opportunity is suited to both industrial and academic participants and will enable scientists and engineers from a range of disciplines to gain first-hand experience of clean-fabs and semiconductor device processing. The course will also be applicable to scientists and engineers using nanofabrication to develop, for example, spintronic or bioelectronic devices.

The course is a collaboration between the Universities of Cambridge, Leeds and Swansea and CS Connected and is supported by the Atoms to Devices theme at the Henry Royce Institute.

This course will cost:

• £400+VAT for academic/RTO attendees
• £800+VAT for industry attendees
