Previously Taught Courses
Designing Materials for the
Computer
Spring. 3 credits. 3 lectures. C. K. Ober.
Introduces the materials, processes and properties of the
semiconductors, polymers, ceramics, and metals used in the
microelectronics industry to form integrated circuits,
electronic devices and displays. This course examines
lithographic processing, metallization, diffusion, ion
implantation, oxidation and other processes used in
fabricating electronic devices and their packages. The
technology of displays will be discussed including liquid
crystal displays and light emitting devices.

Properties of Solid Polymers
Fall. 3 credits. Prerequisite: ENGR 261. Corequisite:
Undergrad thermo and kinetics or permission of instructor.
C. K. Ober.
Synthetic and natural polymers for engineering applications.
Production and characterization of long-chain molecules.
Gelation and networks, rubber elasticity, elastomers and
thermosetting resins. Amorphous and crystalline
thermoplastics and their structure. Time- and
temperature-dependent elastic properties of polymers.
Molecular-weight measurement. Design of high-impact-strength
polymers.

Flexible Electronics
Spring. 3 credits. Flexible electronics holds the
promise of transformative developments in: (1) flat panel
lighting (low cost, low energy), (2) energy production
systems (solar) and (3) infrastructure control and
monitoring (sensing, energy control, hazard monitoring).
Practical realization of flexible circuits will require
dramatic progress in new materials that are compatible with
flexible media and amenable to facile and low temperature
processing as well as major advances in manufacturing
technologies such as roll-to-roll processing. This course
will discuss these and other
developments.
