Tele-Actor field test, oct. 23, 2002

Microfabrication Laboratory

 

Location Microfabrication Laboratory, University of California, Berkeley
 
Date Oct. 23, 2002, from 10.00 to 10.45 am
 
Scenario summary

Since the users will have a precise idea of the process of fabrication of a semiconductor, the scenario will be divided in 8- 10 small parts, called discovery cycles.
During each discovery cycle, we will try to find a precise machine, and answer some questions about its use.
We will then be given the correct answer, along with useful facts about the machine.
