Course objectiveIt is a graduate-level course that will cover the fundamentals of nanosicence and the principles and practice of micro- and nano-fabrication techniques with a focus on applications in biomedical research. One of objectives of the course is also to facilitate a means through which biologists, chemists, physicists and engineers can communicate. At the same time, general definitions about micro- and nanofabrication and the state of the art approachs such as bioinspiration, biomimetic and DNA origami will be also explained. 
Learning outcomes
  1. To develop some new idea about micro- and nano-fabrication process.
Course ContentDefinition and fundementals of micro- and nanofabrications, Basic Lithographic techniques (photolithography, soft lithography, etc.), advanced lithographic approaches (electron beam lithography, Atomic force microscopy lithography etc.), Pattern transfer methods, novel fabrication approaches based on bioinspiration, and micro- and nano-patterning and their applications.
