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.

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., 1 st
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!!!

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
Slide 0-8
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

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 piranhaclean wafers
EE143 – Ali Javey
Slide 0-11
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
Slide 0-12
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
Slide 0-13
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
Slide 0-14
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
•

Introduction to Si Processing
EE143 in one day
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...
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)
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.
