Content​​

The course is given during autumn semesters, fully in English. It is mandatory for students in the 3rd year of the engineering nanoscience program (course code FFFF11), and offered as a free-standing course (FYSD23).

In the course, you will learn about important semiconductor-based devices, such as transistors, light-emitting diodes, solar cells, and specifically how they are fabricated. The lectures are focused around key steps in wafer-scale fabrication, including semiconductor crystal growth, thin film formation, lithography, etching and doping. In the laboratory exercises, which all take place in the Lund NanoLab cleanroom facility, you will fabricate and evaluate a transistor structure.
