Processing and Testing Instrumentation for the Microelectronics Laboratory
Abstract
The Microelectronics Laboratory in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Alabama A & M University (AAMU) has acquired basic infrastructure instruments for both processing and characterization purposes. These instruments accommodate necessary vital components of running initial stage laboratory experiments for the Undergraduate courses for the students in the Microelectronics option. Though this laboratory is not complete but serves the initial purpose at this moment for these Undergraduate students. Some characterization instruments may be used for testing and evaluation as well. Several sources of funds including this AFOSR fund are used in erecting this laboratory at the functional level. Further funding sources are continuously sought from several corners to run this laboratory on a daily basis. The list of the instruments along with the installed photographs is provided in this Report. The Microelectronics Laboratory at AAMU has two aspects of operation serving two basic Undergraduate courses EE452: Semiconductor Instrumentation, and EE451: Integrated Circuit Fabrication in the Microelectronics option program within the Department of Electrical Engineering curricula. Thus, two brochures have been prepared to focus capabilities of the Department of Electrical Engineering. These are: (1) Failure Analysis, Characterization, and Testing (FACT) Laboratory serving the course EE452; and (2) Fabrication Development Center (FDC) serving the course EE451. Each course is designed with three credit hours having one hour equivalent to the associated laboratory curricula.
