POC Nanowetenschappen en nanotechnologie

Aims

To acquire knowledge in materials physics, relevant for the technology for IC's and electronic systems.

Previous knowledge

Necessary basis to disciplines as offered in the introductory courses H01M3A Elektronische basisschakelingen; H06F2A Semiconductor physics and ; H06F0A Semiconductor devices.
Students with a general knowledge of physics and chemistry can follow this course. This course addresses students interested in materials physics and technology for micro-electronics and electronic systems. The course is to some extent based on the course Semiconductor Components, but this course is not a prerequisite. The course is accessible for non-electronic engineers.

This course unit is a prerequisite for taking the following course units:
H06A1A : Advanced Nano-Electronic Components
H06E4A : Reliability and Yield for Micro- and Nanoelectronic Components
H06G0A : Technology of Integrated Systems
H06N2A : Lectures on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
H06L6B : Project Work Nanoscience

Content

Important for the progress of the nanotechnology is the insight in de capabilities of the materials. Electronic, optical, mechanical, thermodynamic qualities of the metals, semiconductors and insulators will be discussed. Material choices are crucial for the further scaling of the circuits. During this course insight will be acquired in the physics and the technology for building IC's. In addition materials and technologies are studied for screens, memories, writing and reading head, LED's, lasers, etc. Recent evolutions are precisely followed-up and discussed.
