On Wednesday January 23, 2013 the Rochester Explorer's Scout Post sponsored by the Rochester Engineering Society came to visit Microelectronic Engineering. The students (and some parents too!) got to gown-up and process some souvenir wafers in our cleanroom. Dr. Karl Hirschman had given them a presentation the previous week. On Wednesday Dr. Hirschman, Dr. Pearson and graduate students, Tarun Mudgal, Seth Slavin, Qinlong Li, and Chris O'Connel (Comp. Sci undergraduate student). As you can see below we had quite a few people working away in the clean-room. On the left a group of students is looking a the monitor to see an image through the microscope of some integrated circuits fabricated at RIT. On the right, students and parents are waiting to develop the image they exposed into photoresist on on their wafer

Here is a picture one of the finished wafers with the RES log and RIT logos (not sure why it comes out upside down??)

If anyone who attended has pictures to share please contact Dr. Hirschman.
