Aim

The purpose of this course is to provide fundamental knowledge about fabrication and characterization of semiconductor devices on the nanometer scale. The focus is set on modern materials and processing techniques with nanotechnology as a main theme. Most of the processes are general and are used in silicon-based IC-technology, solar cells, III-V devices (e.g. LEDs/lasers), as well as in electro-mechanical systems.
