Nanotechnology Engineering roadmap

Nanomaterials, nanofabrication and nanoelectronics.

Start with Nanoscale Foundations, follow the steps in order, then build a project, prepare for interviews and earn your certificate.

Foundations

1. Nanoscale Foundations — Why small is different. The nanoscale and size effects, semiconductor physics, and quantum confinement, plasmonics and tunnelling.
2. Nanomaterials & Synthesis — Building blocks and how to make them. Carbon nanotubes, graphene, 2D materials, nanoparticles and MOFs, and top-down and bottom-up synthesis with nucleation theory.

Core skills

1. Characterisation — Seeing the invisible. Electron and probe microscopy, XRD and Scherrer analysis, DLS, spectroscopy and surface analysis.
2. Nanofabrication & Nanoelectronics — Patterning and quantum devices. IC fabrication, lithography and nanopatterning, MOSFET physics, and nanoscale and quantum electronic devices.

Advanced

1. Applications & Safety — Medicine, energy and responsibility. Pharmacokinetics, catalysis, nanomedicine, nano-energy and environmental uses, and nanotoxicology and regulation.
