Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years (1.8.2018-31.7.2020), which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
The student is able to understand the relevant properties of semiconductors and other materials related to micro- and nanotechnology. The student is able to solve basic problems in this topic. The student also understands the basic concepts of modern physics like quantization and statistical distributions.
