This is a strongly laboratory-oriented course that provides hands-on experience with the most common technologies used to fabricate electron devices: photolithography, epitaxy, oxidation, diffusion, ion implantation, thin film deposition, plasma deposition and laser technologies. Researchers from the Research School of Physical Sciences and Engineering participate in the course, offering invited lectures and laboratory experiments in their particular field of expertise. Training in clean room operation and semiconductor processing equipment is provided. The physical grounds and mathematical models for the technologies mentioned above are used in a semiconductor device design exercise. The device is fabricated in the laboratory and its electrical performance is evaluated.
