This book is designed to introduce typical cleanroom processes,
techniques, and their fundamental principles. It is written for the
practicing scientist or engineer, with a focus on being able to
transition the information from the book to the laboratory. Basic theory
such as electromagnetics and electrochemistry is described in as much
depth as necessary to understand and explain the current practice and
their limitations. Examples from various areas of interest will be
covered, such as the fabrication of photonic devices including photo
detectors, waveguides, and optical coatings, which are not commonly
found in other fabrication texts.
