  5. Course Information • Prerequisites: • EE40/E100 and Physics 7B or equivalent • Course Description • EE143 teaches the fundamentals of integrated-circuit (IC) fabrication and surface-micromachining technology, giving the student a basic understanding of IC and micromachining processes and the effect of processing choices on device performance. Students learn to use process simulation tools and also fabricate and characterize devices in the laboratory. This lecture part will cover the processing techniques and design methodologies of microfabrication. We will discuss the process modules: lithography, thermal oxidation, diffusion, ion implantation, etching, thin-film deposition, epitaxy, metallization. The second part of the course will cover process simulation, layout design rules, MOS, IC, and MEMS process integration. The laboratory part of the course will provide students opportunities to have hands-on experience to fabricate and characterize a NMOS chip with simple MEMS components. EE143 – Ali Javey

  6. Course Schedule EE143 – Ali Javey

  7. Laboratory Information • We do our best to limit lab size to 12 people; as a result, your telebears enrollment is not a guarantee of being assigned to a lab. • You MUST send an email to Professor Javey (ajavey@eecs.berkeley.edu) by Thursday 8pm including the following information: • 1) Full Name • 2) Major • 3) Year (Jr., Sr., Grad student, etc.)4) Rank list of preferred lab sections in descending order of preference (i.e., 1st choice, 2nd choice…) • 5) List of any lab sections that you CANNOT attend • Failure to send an email may result in you being dropped from the course, even if you are registered on telebears. • Final lab assignment will be sent to you via email. PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS ON TELEBEARS IS CORRECT, SINCE THIS WILL BE USED FOR OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE!!! EE143 – Ali Javey

  8. Lab Safety Week of 1/28 • Mandatory Lab attendance required • You will have a lab orientation session, and will have to pass a safety quiz before you are officially enrolled in this course. • You MUST attend the lab session to which you are assigned. EE143 – Ali Javey

  9. Course Structure – Lab and Lecture • You learn the theories in class; you practice them in lab • You are going to make: • resistors, diodes, MOS-cap • bipolar transistor, MOS-transistor, … • some MEMS structures, like bimorphs, … • By the end of the semester, you should have learnt • basic lab techniques • how to operate some fabrication equipment • how to characterize the devices you made EE143 – Ali Javey

  10. The EE143 Chip EE143 – Ali Javey

  11. Lab Cleanliness • only enter the clean room fully gowned • hair net + lab coat + glove + shoe net + safety goggles • do NOT touch chemicals / equipment with bare hands • always handle wafers with tweezers and trays (unless told otherwise) • wash hands before and after entering the lab (why??) • before: so as not to contaminate wafers or equipment • after: avoid chemicals being indigested • 3rd week, GSIs will demonstrate how to clean masks • 4th week, GSIs will demonstrate how to piranha-clean wafers EE143 – Ali Javey

  12. Lab Safety • do NOT enter the lab when GSI aren’t present • know all the emergency exits (ask the GSIs to show you) • know where to find the MSDS • under the whiteboard in characterization room • know where to find the closet water sources, shower, eye wash • ask whenever not clear • do NOT try things out without permission • NO eating, drinking, playing, etc. inside the lab • Things in the lab can be dangerous if not carefully handled. Be sure to respect the chemicals. EE143 – Ali Javey

  13. Chemical Handling • wear protective gear when handling corrosive chemicals • face shield, chemical apron, chemical gloves, respirator if necessary • check glove for holes • check pH of unknown spillage, label everything • corrosive chemicals: H2SO4, HF, aluminum etch, TMAH • wash and rinse the exposed body parts with water for > 15mins • add acids to water, not the other way around • handle wet chemicals only at sinks, acid on right, others on left side EE143 – Ali Javey

  14. Chemical Handling (cont’d) • HF: • be very very careful • HF will penetrate your body and attack your skeletal system; once you feel it, it is already eating your bones!!! • apply calcium gluconate if exposure is suspected • use only plastic beakers for HF (why??) • H2SO4: • very painful, severely burns • add H2O2 to H2SO4 to prepare piranha • do not carry the beaker around after mixing (HOT!!) • use only glass beakers for piranha (why??) • Chemicals used in the lab are often harmful. Don’t breathe and avoid exposure if possible. • Use teflon-ware when handling wafers in acids. Be careful, those teflon tweezers do not hold the wafers very well!! EE143 – Ali Javey

  15. Chemical Disposal • organic chemicals are discarded in designated containers • NOTE: in this lab, photoresist (PR) is also dumped down the drain. • do NOT mix organic wastes with acids (why??) • can cause fire or even explosion • do NOT mix acids and bases EE143 – Ali Javey

  16. Lab Floor Plan Note: Not drawn to scale EE143 – Ali Javey

  17. EE143 Overview • Microfabrication Principles for IC and MEMS • Hands-on Fabrication and Testing of IC and MEMS Devices EE143 – Ali Javey

  18. Fabricated Structures • Using a series of planar processing steps, it is possible to create sophisticated 3D electrical and mechanical structures. EE143 – Ali Javey

  19. Electrical Functionality / Characterization • The resulting structures may be characterization electrically or mechanically 17-stage Ring Oscillator EE143 – Ali Javey

  20. MEMS Actuators Gear Speed Reduction Unit Movable Mirror Responsive Drug Delivery Valve Turbine engine EE143 – Ali Javey

  21. Introduction to Si ProcessingEE143 in one day

  22. Silicon Device Fabrication Technology Over 1019 transistors (or 1,000,000,000 for every person in the world) are manufactured every year. Variations of this versatile technology are used for flat-panel displays, micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), and even DNA chips for DNA screening...

  23. Terminology SSI (Small Scale Integration) – few transistors MSI (Medium Scale Integration) – hundreds LSI (Large Scale Integration) - thousands VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) - millions ULSI (Ultra Large Scale Integration)

  24. Foundry (Fab) • Foundry (also called a fab for fabrication plant) is used to refer to a factory where devices like integrated circuits are manufactured. The central part of a fab is a cleanroom. • Note the difference between a fab and a lab.

  25. Cleanroom Standards Federal Standard Class Limits Why do we need cleanrooms?

  26. Introduction to Device Fabrication Oxidation Lithography & Etching Ion Implantation Annealing & Diffusion Deposition

  27. Oxidation of Silicon Dry Oxidation : Thin oxide Si + O2 SiO2 Si +2H2O  SiO2 + 2H2 Wet Oxidation : Thick oxide
