The Professional Training
Certificates in Nanotechnology is
funded by the following:
1. a grant awarded under the President’s
High-Growth Job Training Initiative, as
implemented by the U.S. Department of
Labor’s Employment & Training
Administration.
2.
In partnership with the San Bernardino
Community College District, the California
Institute of Nanotechnology has recently
received a grant under the Responsive
Training Fund for Incumbent Workers by the
Chancellor's Office of the California
Community Colleges.

Institute of Nanotechnology
The
California Institute of Nanotechnology’s mission is
to conduct research and development and provide
professional education
and training in the frontier of nanotechnology to meet
the needs of the emerging industry for the benefit of
the society.
The
California Institute of Nanotechnology conducts advanced
& applied research in nanotechnology to help solve major
problems facing mankind such as diseases, shortage of
energy and global environmental issues.
With our
expertise and a large network of world class
collaborators focusing a broad spectrum of nanosciences
and nanotechnology, we provide
business and advanced
technical consulting services to a number
large multinational corporations around the world.
California
Institute of Nanotechnology serves as the central hub to
manage a number of projects such as:
Conducting advanced R&D in nanomaterials,
nanobiotechnology, nanoscale thin film solar cell
systems.
Studying
societal & environmental impact of converging
technologies
Developing policy and
investment initiatives for nanotech and clean tech
Developing international curricula for workforce
training in nanotech and clean tech industry.
Providing education & workforce training to help
dislocated workers in California to have high
skilled jobs in the industry;
Facilitating venture investment for start-up
companies.

Micro-NanoFabrication
for Photovoltaics Workshop
The
Micro-NanoFabrication for Photovoltaics Workshop is an
intensive certificate program geared towards introducing
technical and business managers to the applications of
nanotechnology for photovoltaics. The program includes a
hands-on lab component covering the basic principles and
practice of micro-nano fabrication techniques applied to
electronic devices.
Participants will become trained in ultra high vacuum
physical vapor deposition, lithography, etching and
cleaning, metallization, and specimen characterization
using scanning electron microscope (SEM). Total duration
of the course is 30 hours, consisting of three 2-hour
lectures and three 8-hour labs. Lectures will be held
from 7 PM - 9 PM on Wednesdays and Labs will be held
from 9 AM - 5 PM on Saturdays.
