Course Objective

Nanomanufacturing is a process of using precision machines that can generate precision tool motions to fabricate designed surface forms/dimensions with nanometric tolerances. Dimensional measurement of the workpiece and the machine is always an essential process for the purpose of quality control in all kinds of manufacturing. Because accuracy is the most important requirement for nanomanufacturing, the dimensional measurement is a much more crucial process for nanomanufacturing than other kinds of manufacturing. This course will provide the student with the underlying principles and techniques of nanometrology with emphasis on their application to production with nanotechnology.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   The basic introduction to dimensional measurement and importance of accuracy in the production with nanotechnology
2   The basic introduction to measurement with angle sensor and laser technologies in the production with nanotechnology
3   The basic introduction to measurement of In-plane Motion in the production with nanotechnology
4   The basic introduction to measurement of Micro-dimensions in the production with nanotechnology
5   The basic introduction to measurement of 3D Nanostructures in the production with nanotechnology
6   The basic introduction to scanning Image-sensor System for Measurement of Micro-dimensions in the production with nanotechnology

Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

The course is taught in a lecture, class presentation and discussion format. All class members are expected to attend and both the lecture and take part in the discussion sessions. Besides the taught lecture, group presentations are to be prepared by the groups assigned for that week and presented to open a discussion session.
