This course surveys sub-micrometer pattern-transfer techniques and methods for handling materials with one or more sub-micrometer dimensions. The optical and mechanical principles underlying a spectrum of candidate lithography techniques are introduced, and extensive examples of industrial applications are discussed. Class material also covers techniques for assembling structures from zero-, one- and two-dimensional materials including nanoparticles, nanotubes, nanowires, and single- and few-atomic-layer sheets of van der Waals solids such as graphene and molybdenite.
