Abstract

A set of laboratory activities has been developed to simulate multiple steps in the integrated circuit fabrication process. The Microfabrication Teaching Laboratory offers tools and procedures for a comprehensive simulation of the device fabrication process, with the goal of producing working devices such as a p-n diode, a solar cell and a MOSFET on a silicon wafer substrate. The lab includes activities aimed at wafer oxidation, patterning the oxide layer via optical lithography, etching, selective doping to achieve a p-n junction, and device characterization. Portions of the laboratory have been tested in undergraduate teaching labs with successful results.
