Course Description

The aim of this Master’s course is the understanding of physical and technological basis of electronic devices in order to use innovative solutions to electronic design problems. Emphasis is on MOS field-effect transistors and their behaviors (FinFET, TFT,etc), LED’s and lasers, power devices, nano devices and sensors.

The course will also describe the manufacturing technology and the different processes involved, with specific attention to the environmental impact of chip production.

Learning Objectives
By the end of this course, students are able to …

  • Understand the basic properties of semiconductors and the equations that allow their description.
  • Understand the operation of the main devices and in particular those of daily use.
  • Understand the origin of the limitations of these devices and the solutions to these limitations.
  • Have the necessary elements to be able to understand the future evolution of micro and nanotechnologies.
