Nanotechnology Principles Lab: Lithography

Description:This Nanotechnology Principles Lab: Lithography is provided by SHINE: Seattle's Hub for Industry-driven Nanotechnology Education. This lab includes activities that are intended to teach students about lithography. The lab includes the following learning objectives: To understand how lithography, including photolithography and soft lithography is used to make electronic and biomedical devices and nano- and micro- scale 3D printed objectsTo make simple patterns using photolithography and soft lithography type processesTo understand how microfluidics are used in biological analysisTo understand that chips can be made in many designs depending on the purpose of the chipTo understand that analysis of materials at the micro and nano scale require less space, fluid, and can be done differently because of how properties of materials change at a small scale - the basis of "lab on a chip"Contents:This collection of resources includes one lithography presentation, three labs, a lithography background document, and material safety data sheets.   The Lithography PowerPoint presentation covers topics such as photolithography, soft lithography, negative photoresist, microfluidics, lab on a chip applications, parallel analysis, laminar flow, microfluidic videos, and more. The three labs included cover 3-D printing, photolithography, and pH sensors. Labs may include pre-lab preparations, pre-lab materials needed, a pre-lab procedure, safety hazards and precautions, pre-lab questions, and discussion questions. The Lithography Background document provides learning outcomes and background information about lithography and includes information about the following: Washington EARL Alignment, Oregon Content Standards Alignment, applications, vocabulary, MSDS/safety information, and lithography materials. For orientation purposes the 'SHINE_Lithography Background' PDF is included as a separate attachment and offers a sample of the type of material included in this curriculum. Below is a list of the files contained within the .zip attachment.
