E-portfolio journal.
Semester reflections and the full Summer 2025 MOSCAP fabrication log, kept as part of the University Research Scholars Program.
Circuits 2 with Dr. Sheplak, peer instructing, MIL, and building EdgeTrain in the FOCUS Lab.
Digital Logic and Microprocessor Applications, an REU with Dr. Koppal, and a crude polyphonic synthesizer.
Metal lift-off, annealing at 550C, and electrical characterization of the finished MOSCAPs.
Physical vapor deposition of aluminum contacts via thermal vaporization at ~3 µTorr.
Second mask exposure, recalibrated with nLOF 2035 resist and per-group stack reflectivity.
Wet and dry etch of the first MOSCAP layer, with etch times computed from measured oxide thickness.
Completing the initial mask exposure, with dose calculated via transfer-matrix stack reflectivity.
Photoresist types, spin-coating thickness, and exposure with the Karl Suss 505 Mask Aligner.
Hands-on experience with the fundamental techniques of MOS capacitor manufacturing.
Signals and Systems was a VERY informative course, and I got to meet Dr. Koppal.
The poster we presented at the Spring Undergraduate Research Symposium on April 8th.
Getting into the swing of college has been a relatively smooth transition.
Presented at the URSP poster symposium as the final project for the HUM2930 Research and Creativity course.
