Course Description
Course Number: 0305-525
Course Title:
Optics For Microelec Eng
Description:
An introduction to the principles of optics in which reflection, refraction and transmission are explained as a result of interference between the excitation field and the atomic oscillatins that result in the emission of spherical wavelets (Huygens Principle). Topics include Fresnel Coefficients, imagery due to refraction at a single surface, simple lenses, ray tracing techniques, apertures, mirrors and thick lenses. Both the paraxial case (ideal imagery) and aberrations in spherical lenses are covered. An introduction to physical optics and the topics of diffraction and interferometry is provided. These topics set the stage for understanding ellipsometers, steppers, microscopes, and other optical instrumentation utilized in IC manufacturing. Lab required. (1017-313) Class 3, Lab 3, Credit 4 (F,W)
