MICROFABRICATION
CLEANROOM
LABORATORY
Semiconductor Processing Cleanrooms for
Microfabrication includes 4000 square feet of class 100 and 1000 areas with
additional associated laboratory space. There are facilities to process and
fabricate silicon integrated circuits and III-V devices, and this capability has
been demonstrated by the implementation of circuits in a variety of technologies
(MOS, bipolar, FETs, optoelectronics, and photovoltaics). The processing
equipment include a Technics Planar Etch II Plasma Reactor for dielectric
deposition, hydrogen processing, and etching; CHA 4-Pocket electron beam
evaporator; NRC filament evaporator; ellipsometer; DekTak profilomiter; Karl
Suss MJB-3 mask aligner; Kasper and Cobilt aligners and associated
photolithography equipment; annealing, oxidation and diffusion furnaces; a
pulsed laser deposition facility; West Bond wire bonder; Kenworth probe station
with Hewlett-Packard 4145; 4-point probe; wet chemical clean benches, etc. In
addition to EE faculty, staff and students, the facilities are available to
researchers from Physics, Material Science, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry,
Mechanical Engineering, Welding Engineering and from outside Ohio State
University.
