It-fab brings together a network of academic and research institutions that share advanced infrastructures, expertise, and services to support research, innovation, and technology transfer in microelectronics, photonics, MEMS, quantum technologies, and related fields.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]The School is specifically conceived as a hands-on training experience. Participants will not only attend lectures covering the fundamentals of micro- and nanofabrication processes but will also have the opportunity to access a professional cleanroom environment and directly experience key fabrication techniques under the guidance of experienced researchers and technologists.
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=””]Learning Objectives
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=””]By attending the School, participants will:
- Gain an overview of modern micro- and nanofabrication technologies and cleanroom operations.
- Understand the main process steps involved in device fabrication, including lithography, thin-film deposition, etching, packaging and characterization.
- Learn about process integration and the fabrication workflow of micro- and nanoscale devices.
- Acquire practical experience through guided cleanroom activities.
- nteract with researchers, technologists, and peers working in different fields of micro- and nanotechnology.
- Become familiar with the facilities and opportunities offered by the It-fab network.
