Course Description

The course aims to learn o learn basic nano-fabrication and characterization techniques, with focus on basic semiconductor devices and organic devices.

The course consists of three large modules, plus an additional extension where the techniques and challenges for recycling of microelectronic devices (specifically, photovoltaic modules) will be discussed. The first module focuses on semiconductor device characterization, specifically of a crystalline silicon diode for photovoltaic applications. The second module deals with Organic semiconductor devices, flexible electronics thin-film transistors and organic solar cells.

Finally, the third block the fabrication of nanostructured devices and their characterization. All modules include theoretical sessions and hands-on experience, including labs in a clean room for microelectronics fabrication.
