1、Designation: E3034 15Standard Guide forWorkforce Education in Nanotechnology PatternGeneration1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E3034; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A
2、number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This guide provides a framework for a basic workforceeducation in pattern generation topics related tonanotechnology, to be taught at a
3、n undergraduate college level.The education should be broadbased, preparing an individualto work in one of many areas in naotechnology research,development, or manufacturing. The individual so educatedmay be involved in nanoscale pattern definition.1.2 This guide may be used to develop or evaluate a
4、neducation program for pattern generation topics in the nano-technology field. This guide provides listings of key topics thatshould be covered in a nanotechnology education program onthis subject, but it does not provide specific course material tobe used in such a program. This approach is taken i
5、n order toallow workforce education entities to ensure their programscover the required material while also enabling these institu-tions to tailor their programs to meet the needs of their localemployers.1.3 While no units of measurements are used in thisstandard guide, values stated in SI units are
6、 to be regarded asstandard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of themethods and concepts needed for pattern generation in nano-technology. It may not cover knowledge and skill objectivesapplicable to local conditions or required by local regulations.1.5 This standard does not purport
7、to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

15、re basedon inputs from industry, nanotechnology educators and subjectmatter experts.4.2 In this list, the first topic (8.1) pertains to the design ofthe patterns. The following five topics cover various lithogra-phy techniques. Three of the topics (8.2, 8.3, and 8.5) covertechniques requiring physic
16、al masks to generate the patterns ona substrate. The other two topics (8.4 and 8.6) do not utilize anyphysical masks, but use either electronic design files (8.4)orengineering of the materials (8.6).5. Significance and Use5.1 The purpose of this guide is to provide a basic educa-tional structure for
17、 pattern generation in nanotechnology toorganizations developing or carrying out education programsfor the nanotechnology workforce. This guide helps to describethe minimum knowledge base for anyone involved in nano-manufacturing or nanomaterials research.5.2 The basic education should prepare an in
18、dividual forvaried roles in the nanotechnology workplace. The material inthis standard may require a post-secondary two-year science ortechnology background to be understood sufficiently. Depth onthe topics should be sufficient to transfer between variousapplications of nanotechnology such as nanoma
19、terialfabrication, nanomaterial characterization, nanolithography,and patterning.5.3 Workers may transition in their roles in the workplace.Participants in such education will have a broad understandingof a complement of pattern generation methods, thus increas-ing their marketability for jobs withi
20、n as well as beyond thenanotechnology field.5.4 This guide is intended to be one in a series of standardsdeveloped for workforce education in various aspects ofnanotechnology. It will assist in providing an organization abasic structure for developing a program applicable to manyareas in nanotechnol
21、ogy, thus providing dynamic and evolvingworkforce education.6. General Background Knowledge and Skills6.1 Introductory algebra, chemistry, physics, and statistics atthe college level.6.2 The environmental, health and safety (EHS) hazardspresented by nanoscale materials can be very different fromthos
22、e presented by bulk materials. Students should have a basicunderstanding of the unique EHS factors when handlingnanoscale materials.NOTE 1See Guide E2996 for details.6.3 A basic knowledge of the physical and chemical prop-erties of nanoscale materials.6.4 During the pattern generation procedure, mea
23、surementshave to be made to track the progress and product quality aftervarious process steps. Students should have a basic understand-ing of characterization methods at the nanoscale.NOTE 2See Practice E3001 for details.7.
