7. Light Emitting Diodes

   29 Jun 2020 | | Contributor(s):: Nano-Link Center for Nanotechnology Education, Sam Levenson, James J Marti

   This module demonstrates the concepts of semiconductor band gaps and the quantum nature of light using readily available and inexpensive LEDs.  It uses a simple fact which surprises many students – LED can detect light (i.e., act as small solar cells) as well as generate light. The...

8. Photolithography (Option A)

   06 Feb 2020 | | Contributor(s):: James J Marti, Nano-Link Center for Nanotechnology Education

   This module presents an introduction and demonstration of photolithography, the process of copying a high-resolution pattern onto multiple substrates. Students replicate key steps in the process of photolithography and learn how these processes fit into the fabrication of micro- and nanoscale...
