Making a Wire Lithograph & Pressure Sensor Nanotechnology STEM Kit

Description

Developed in partnership with Argonne National Laboratory, this kit gives your students the opportunity to apply a revolutionary nanotechnology manufacturing technique to grow nano-scale and micro-scale copper wires. Using a unique ultra nanocrystalline diamond (UNCD) electrode, students use traditional electroplating and lithography (E&L) techniques to grow pattern-shaped wires that become the essential components that can be used to fabricate optical and electrical sensors and other devices. This kit covers the following concepts:

• Measurement scales / perspectives
• Unique properties at nanoscale
• Fabricating nano / microscale structures
• Creating nano / microscale lithographic wire patterns

Designed for use by 40 students working in groups of 4.
