Understand:
i) the physical principles of semiconductor and their conduction processes;
ii) the physical principles of semiconductors devices and their fabrication technology;
iii) theoretical and practical aspects of the major steps in semiconductor device fabrication.
After completing the course, the student should be able to:
O1. Knowledge and understanding: understand physical principles of semiconductors and devices; understand conduction processes, fabrication technology and semiconductor device fabrication.
O2. Applying knowledge and understanding:O3. Formulate judgments: apply critical thinking in the analysis and discussion of exercises.
O4. Learning skills: conduct self-study through access to educational resources available on the course e-learning Moodle platform of UP.B-LEARNING.
Subject´s presentation will be held in lectures, predominantly expository with PP. These lecture classes will provide a strong interaction between semiconductor physics concepts and devices.
Seminar classes are designed to review general concepts from lectures and to solve and discuss problems under instructor’s guidance.
Questions/problem sets will be made available on Moodle_UP platform. Students should, individually, submit their solutions on scheduled dates and give a presentation to discuss their content. The questions/problems will cover lectures’ materials.
Writing of an individual essay based on bibliographic research and having as subject one of the topics covered or related to the course content. The main goal of the written essay task is the application of acquired knowledge, the critical review of current scientific works, published in high impact scientific journals. This process aims at the development of analysis capabilities for new scenarios.
In addition to face to face lectures and seminar classes, didactic contents will be made available on Moodle-UP Platform.
