Energy Beam Processing Short Course
15-18 February 2016, Institute for Manufacturing, University of Cambridge, UK

Course Aims
The aims of this course is to provide participants with an understanding of the ways in which energy beam technologies are used to deliver ultra precision materials processing capabilities in engineering applications. The course focuses on two key energy beam technology systems widely applied in a number of ultra precision manufacturing applications. Strong emphasis is placed on presenting the underlying science of laser and ion beam technologies and the systems that deliver them. Methods are both theoretically and practically explored in a number of application case studies. The course will also provide delegates with both an understanding of issues and the practical means of dealing with these advanced ultra precision manufacturing solutions.

Course Content
Part 1 – Ion Beams
This part of the course covers a wide range of lithography and processing techniques. The emphasis is to provide delegates with an awareness of where ion beam lithography tools are applied in manufacturing operations. Subjects covered include:

  • Optical lithography
  • The current status of EUV lithography
  • Beam sample interactions
  • Basics of ion beam lithography
  • Electron beam lithography 1
  • Electron beam lithography 2
  • Alternative lithography techniques 1
  • Alternative lithography techniques 2
Part 2 – Laser Beams
This section of the course covers a wide range of laser system technologies and micro materials processing techniques. The emphasis is to provide participants with awareness of how and where laser beam micro processing tools are supplied in ultra precision manufacturing operations. Subjects covered include:

  • Generation of laser light
  • Laser source technologies
  • Laser beam characteristics
  • Laser beam manipulation
  • Laser matter interactions
  • Materials processing
  • Laser system technologies
  • [Laser based micro processing applications
Upon completion of the course delegates should:
  • Understand core scientific underpinning and engineering delivery and applications of energy beam technologies
  • Have a thorough appreciation of how energy beam technologies are used in the fabrication of ultra precision devices
  • Be able to assess and utilise appropriate technology choices for the production of ultra precision components
  • Understand the operation of and the practical means of applying energy beam technologies in an ultra precision manufacturing context
Lecturers on this course are Dr Saurav Goel and Prof Bill O’Neill.
