Our goal at Sun Devil® Semiconductor Club is to manufacture microscopic transistors on silicon wafers with technology that is readily accessible. We are looking to manufacture 10 micron resolution nMOS transistors, as well as construct the machines necessary to achieve this goal. We believe that this project will allow us to acquire an in-depth knowledge of the science and engineering involved in the manufacturing of semiconductor technology that will prepare students for industry. Lithographically, we have achieved the 10 micron imaging utilizing an SLA 3D printer and microscope optics stackup. We are looking to improve this process and eventually use it to build a chip from scratch. Fab side, we are utilizing a modified version of Sam Zeloof’s nMOS process. We are actively working to improve the photoresist chemical and manufacture his spin-on dopant. Outreach is an integral part of Semiconductor Club. We work directly with middle and high school students to support interest in the industry through fun labs (like making “Holographic Chocolate”). We are excited to continue these events and are always looking for more volunteers!
