The NFF Internship Scheme

In summer 2018, the NFF launched a new internship scheme to recruit undergraduate students to work in the cleanroom. The objective is to foster undergraduate students’ interest in semiconductor technologies and fabrication processes. We recruited Lily Kam, now in her 3rd year majoring in Electronic and Computer Engineering, and Chris Fung, now also in his 3rd year majoring in Chemistry. Their job duties were to assist NFF staff to deliver job requests from industrial users…

New Equipment & Process Capabilities

In August 2018, the NFF has launched the Deep Reactive Ion Etching (DRIE) Process Center in Rm. 2223. There are two DRIE etchers for different cleanliness levels. One of them is for non-standard DRIE etching processes, which the NFF did not support previously. With the extended DRIE capability, the NFF can now support the whole range of cleanliness levels for DRIE processes. Moreover, a P-10 Step Profiler and a Nikon optical microscope are in service at the Center for in-line measurements and sample inspections...
