Molecular Beam Epitaxy
Animations | 16 Nov 2005 | Contributor(s):: John C. Bean
Microelectronic devices are made by repeating two steps: 1) Depositing a thin uniform layer of material; 2) Then using a photographic process to pattern and remove unwanted areas of that layer.

Scanning Electron Microscope
Animations | 16 Nov 2005 | Contributor(s):: John C. Bean
This resource describes a scanning electron microscope (SEM). It includes detailed depictions of how the electron beam is focused and used to create hugely magnified images of experimental specimens.

Scanning Probe Microscope Piezoelectric Crystals
Animations | 16 Nov 2005 | Contributor(s):: John C. Bean
In this resource we disassemble the piezoelectric assembly of a scanning probe microscope. At its core is a white cylinder of the piezoelectric material. If you look closely, it has a granular texture that reflects the fact that it is actually made up of many small crystals.

Scanning Probe Microscope Operation
Animations | 16 Nov 2005 | Contributor(s):: John C. Bean
Scanning Probe Microscopes (SPMs) include Atomic Force Microscopes (AFMs) and Scanning Tunneling Microscopes (STMs or STEMs). They are the only instruments in widespread use that can actually "see" single atoms! You can skim this resource quickly to learn the general concepts of SPMs, or you can...

Nanomanufacturing: Top-Down and Bottom-Up
Animations | 14 Mar 2005 | Contributor(s):: EPICS LSPM Team
Martin presents an overview of nanomanufacturing techniques, explaining the difference between top-down and bottom-up approaches.
-
Scanning Probe Microscopes
Animations | 15 Mar 2005 | Contributor(s):: EPICS LSPM Team
Laura explains how scanning probe microscopes can be used to create images of small devices, molecules, and even atoms! A large-scale version of the scanning probe microscope is built out of Legos to show the basic principles.
