This self-standing module is intended to be a tool for learners who already have basic theoretical education in Micro- and Nanotechnology (MNT), e.g. after an introductory lecture.
The module enables learners to combine individual micro- and nanostructuring processes into complete fabrication process chains and to explore interactions between individual process steps in the context of photonics-related fabrication.
Using a digital learning environment, learners investigate how fabrication steps are sequenced, selected, and adapted depending on design goals, material constraints, process compatibility, and application requirements.
The module integrates interactive digital elements such as visual process workflows, guided case studies, process decision tasks, and virtual or simulated cleanroom/lab experiences. It is designed to support both academic learners and professionals seeking structured, competence-oriented training in NanoFab process-chain planning and analysis.

After completing the module, learners reach the application and analysis levels of Bloom’s taxonomy. They are able to apply existing knowledge of micro- and nanofabrication processes and analyse their interactions within fabrication process chains. Learners are able to:
Optical design & engineering
Specialised photonics fields
Free
Basic prior knowledge and understanding in materials processing, microfabrication, or nanotechnology is required. Learners should know the fundamentals of fabrication steps and process flows. Prior cleanroom experience is not required, but familiarity with basic concepts such as lithography, deposition, etching, or material structuring is advantageous.
