A Film Fabrication Facility for Undergraduate Laboratory and Research Project Courses

维拉诺瓦将购买一个薄膜制造设施， 三个电子枪和一个计算机控制的快门， 密封真空室。 这个设施将使物理 为学生提供学习薄膜艺术的机会 制造和应用。 该设施将用于五个 实验室课程和三个研究项目相关课程。 的 这种设施的存在将提供制作电影的能力 样品、超晶格、量子威尔斯、半导体器件和 隧道结，以及设计集成电路和 实验室课程所需的电子元件。 这个设施 将升级这些课程，让学生学习应用 薄膜，可用于研究和工业应用。 该大学将提供相当于该奖项106%的资金， 项目的运作。

Villanova will purchase a thin film fabrication facility consisting of three electron guns and a computer controlled shutter housed in an ultrahigh vacuum chamber. This facility will enable the Physics Department to offer students a chance to learn the art of thin film fabrication and application. The facility will be used in five laboratory courses and three research project-related courses. The presence of such a facility will provide the capability of making film samples, superlattices, quantum wells, semiconductor devices and tunneling junctions, as well as designing integrated circuits and electronic components needed for laboratory courses. This facility will upgrade these courses and allow students to learn applications of thin films, useful in research and in applications in industry. The university will provide funds equal to 106% of the award toward the operation of the project.
