Overview:

Micro-transfer printing (MTP) is a cutting-edge technology in heterogeneous integration that enables the transfer of microscale structures and devices from one substrate to another with high precision and accuracy. This process involves the use of specialized machinery, mechanisms, and software that are specifically designed for micro-transfer printing.
Details:

This two-day training course explores the details of transferring microscale structures and devices between substrates. These state-of-the-art techniques are not only relevant today but are poised to become pivotal in diverse research domains and technological platforms. Dive into the specialized machinery, mechanisms, and software designed exclusively for micro-transfer printing. If you're ready to explore this captivating field, this course offers the perfect starting point.

Embark on a comprehensive exploration of the machinery, mechanisms, and technology that underpin micro-transfer printing. Immerse yourself in the diverse range of semiconductor material systems, including GaAs, InP, GaN, and Si, and their application potential.


At the end of the course attendees should be able to:

  • Understand the core principles of micro-transfer printing
  • Know how to integrate micro-transfer printing into your specific area of work or research

Course contents:

  • Introduction, orientation and Europractice Overview
  • MTP fundamentals: basic terminology and concepts, machine, print mechanisms and alignment
  • Tour in Photonics Packaging Lab
  • Tour in Tyndall III-V materials cleanroom
  • The coupon, the print and the target
  • Pre-print fabrication and integration, with case studies
  • Post-print fabrication and integration, with case studies
  • Discussion, wrap-up and Q&A panel

Theory and concepts are introduced in lectures and practically demonstrated during lab tours.
Prerequisites:

While an educational background in science or engineering is very advantageous, this course welcomes individuals from diverse backgrounds who harbor a curiosity for this cutting-edge technology. A fundamental grasp of semiconductor technology is recommended but not obligatory.
