Example Presentations
These are some example presentations from the 2003 class. They are shown
to give you ideas, but not to be copied or used in your reports. Although,
in general, they do a pretty good job of conveying the information, they
are not ideal. For example, the photolithography presentation could have
left out the first slide, as we all know that, and spent more time discussing
what wavelengths they used in making ellipsometric measurements, what index
of refraction they got as a function of wavelength, and how that compared
to the data sheet. There is also no information on what the surface profiler
traces looked like or discussion of how the RIE behaved since they have
a difference between the two measurements of thickness. Some of their figures
have features which are really too small to read well. Similarly, for the
oxide presentation, some of the symbols and letters in the graphs a smaller
than I might choose. The organization is also a bit funny with conclusions
coming before the final sets of data. This can give you the impression that
the talk might have been made by two different teams, and then wasn't merged
very well before presentation. I don't want to single out the teams that
presented these. They worked very hard on them and were actually some of
the better ones. It's just that all talks can be improved, so I wanted to
give you some examples.
