Course detail

Student is going to familiarize with the elemental and advanced methods and techniques for the microstructures and semiconductor devices fabrication, with materials, rules for their creation and modern nanotechnologies in semiconductor industry.

Preview of the mehods and techniques in thin-film and semicoductor technology, design skill of the microstructures and nanostructures using advanced techniques of fabrication.

no

The subject is focused on a study of the microelectronic technologies using seminary and self-study. Students will take-up overview about elemental and advanced methods and techniques, material utilization, and rules for microstructure creation. They will know how to take bearings in areas of the design and fabrication, as well about utilization of nanotechnologies in microelectronics.

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.
