Education and Outreach
Educational video modules, outreach films, and student project videos
Semiconductor Processing Education Video Modules
A video series on core semiconductor processing techniques (photolithography, spin coating, ellipsometry, e-beam deposition, and atomic layer deposition), produced by our lab and openly available. These videos also appear in the “Cleanroom Videos” section of the ANNLab Training page.
SEMILITHO: Semiconductor Lithography Tool Prototype
The SEMILITHO capstone team’s progress video, produced under the Craig M. Berge Engineering Design Program, based on the idea and technical direction of faculty sponsor Prof. Zafer Mutlu. The team won the Craig M. Berge Dean’s Award for Most Outstanding Project at Winter Design Day 2025.
Semiconductor U.S.A.
A short educational film sponsored by the Center for Semiconductor Manufacturing, featuring 8th-grade students from Booth-Fickett Math-Science Magnet School alongside University of Arizona faculty and students, exploring the role of semiconductors in everyday life and the careers behind them.
MRS TV: Enabling the Future Through Materials Science and Engineering, University of Arizona
An MRS TV film showcasing research, education, and workforce development in microelectronics and other emerging fields at the University of Arizona, premiered at the 2024 MRS Spring Meeting. Lab members contributed to the film.
