    ELEC-E3280 Micronova Laboratory Course, 5 cr ,Teaching Period  I-II

    Overview
    The course is  primarily intended for students majoring in the following subjects:

    • Photonics and Nanotechnology

      If more than 25 students enroll, students in above mentioned majors have priority.

      The course consists of five lab works each focusing on different areas of microelectronics and photonics.
       

      Each lab work consists of pre-lab exercises, the actual lab work and a final report

      Pre-lab exercises will be done individually, the lab works and final reports in groups of 2-4.
