Introduction to Micro- and Nanotechnology

Course content

After completion of the module, the students are able to present basic aspects of micro- and nanotechnology. They will understand the special features and modes of operation of miniaturized structures and systems They will know typical methods for the two different approaches of top-down and bottom-up generation of micro- and nanostructures. They can describe the special features of nanomaterials, differentiate between nanomaterials and nanostructures and can deduce which types of nanomaterials and micro- and nanosystems (such as sensors) exist and what the most important applications are.
