Course Name: Fundamentals of micro and nanofabrication

Course abstract

The course provides an in-depth understanding of top-down device fabrication. Focus is the unit processes typically used in micro & nanofabrication of devices. Both concepts and practical aspects are covered. Topics include crystal growth, doping, chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, photolithography, wet etching, dry etching, and packaging. The course is accessible to students from diverse backgrounds, such as materials, physics, chemistry, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering. The course will be a derivative of NE203: Advanced Micro & Nano Fabrication Technology & Processes. This is a 3:0 credit course that is being successfully offered by CeNSE, IISc since 2015. The average class size is 60-70. Students from various departments outside CeNSE, e.g. Physics, Chemistry, ECE, DESE, IAP, routinely take the course. We even get some registration from JNCASR and RRI.

Prof.Shankar Selvaraja

Dr.Shankar Kumar Selvaraja obtained B.E. Electronics and Communication Engineering from Dr. MCET, Pollachi, Bharathiar University, M.E. Optical Communication from College of Engineering, Anna University, Chennai, M. S. Microelectronics and Microsystems from University of Twente, The Netherlands and Ph.D. in Photonics Engineering from Ghent University, Belgium in 2011. His doctoral thesis was carried out at imec (inter-university microelectronics center), Leuven, Belgium on wafer-scale fabrication technology for Silicon photonic integrated circuits. He was supported by Dehouse doctoral grant and scientific leadership training award to conduct his doctoral work. Between 2011 and 2014, he worked at imec, Belgium developing next-generation microprocessor for high-speed computing using Silicon photonic integrated circuits. He has spent a decade in the area of silicon photonic developing state-of-the-art process and device technology for Silicon Complementary-Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) compatible photonic integrated circuit for high-speed optical interconnect.

Prof. Sushobhan Avasti

Sushobhan has worked in the field of semiconductor device fabrication technology for more than 10 years, specializing on photovoltaics. His PhD thesis was on organic,Si heterojunction silicon solar cells. He then worked as a post-doctoral research associate in the Princeton Institute of Science and Technology of Materials (PRISM), where he worked on oxide,Si heterojunction solar cells. Since 2014, he has been working an assistant professor in the Indian Institute of Science at the Centre for Nano Science and Engineering (CeNSE), Indian Institute of Science (IISc). In 2014, he was awarded Sir Visvesvaraya Young Faculty Research Fellowship by Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India. In 2018 he was awarded the Young Engineer Award by the Indian National Academy of Engineers (INAE). He is a young associate of the INAE, member of IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), and member of MRS.
