WSUV Cleanroom Lab
In the ECE 496 Silicon Integrated Circuit Fabrication Technology class at WSU under the instruction of Dr. Feng Zhao we had a cleanroom lab experience. The lab facility comprises three dedicated bays, each catering to specific processes, including thermal/diffusion/anneal, photolithography, and metal deposition. I am excited about the opportunity to work in this cutting-edge environment and gain valuable practical knowledge in cleanroom technologies.
