Fabrication 101 - Learning basic fabrication of SNSPDs.

Step 1: Read the PDF pamphlet below 'Fabrication 101.pdf'

Step 2: Follow the instructions in 'Fabrication 101 ticksheet.pdf' below, filling in the relevant information as you go along. At each stage* you can find the information you need and learn the techniques and processes from more experienced members of the Quantum Sensors group. *Apart from some specific training provided by JWNC staff, namely...

Step 3: Book training through the JWNC website for the following equipment:

MA6 - photo-lithography training (this includes substrate cleaning and resist spinning)

Plassys II and IV - evaporation deposition training (useful to define markers for e-beam lithography)

S4700 and SU8240 - SEM Microscope

Icon AFM

Dektak XT

Step 4: Begin e-beam training. This includes E-Beam lecture course (held once yearly), e-beam course notes (available on JWNC website), and processing with help and guidance from a more experienced group member/buddy.

NB: Learning how to prepare and submit jobs for e-beam lithography and for dry etching are significantly more in-depth and complex than other procedures (such as substrate cleaning etc.). There is a lot of material available to you through the JWNC website and from other cleanroom users. Start reading and absorbing these resources as soon as possible.
