Advanced Semiconductor and Microelectronics

About the course

The course Advanced Semiconductor and Microelectronics deals with various current Developments in the fields of semiconductor and microelectronics. The following topics will be addressed which are taught in the lectures Semiconductor Electronics and Microelectronics not treated or only briefly treated due to time constraints could be. The course FHME is divided into two parts: laboratory internship with accompanying preparations or exercises and lecture with accompanying seminars or exercises. The content of the lecture FHME is not fixed but changes with each new lecture series. The possible main topics are e.g. MOS technology, memory technologies, AD converters, microsensor technology, Optoelectronics, bipolar technology, semiconductor components for the power electronics, semiconductor components of High-frequency and microwave technology, photovoltaics, thin-film technologies or display technology. The event will be given by the students in the form of a series of lectures. Each student works under the supervision of a supervisor on a Topic on which a lecture of about 20 minutes is held.

Curriculum

In smaIn small groups of 3-4 students the students work on,
1. Basic understanding of the usual working methods for the production of semiconductor devices with the supervision of the institute.
2. Depending on the students' interests, current topics in the field of semiconductor and microelectronics are available.
3. The students learn to write a script and to give a lecture at the end of the course.
4. students learn to implement the acquired knowledge and skills, which go beyond the technical contents
     a. For example, teamwork and techniques of knowledge transfer.
     b. The students acquire a understanding of the processes in semiconductors.
5. Students know the process technologies required to manufacture the semiconductor device,
      a. Including the design of special integrated circuits. 

Credit hours

Presence study: 60 h, self-study:, Exam preparation: 120 h. The assessment will be through a written examination at the end of the semester.
