Descrizione dell'insegnamento

Knowledge and understanding of the concepts tought in PHYSICS OF MATTER MOD. I & MOD. II (LM56)

The Course is carried on through classroom theoretical lectures (about 90% of the total teaching hours) and practical Laboratory sessions (about 10% of the teaching hours) , the latter focussing on the applications of MOVPE and MBE technology to the synthesis of compound semiconductor hetero- and nano-structures.

The exam consists of an oral examination/colloquium aimed at determining to what extent the student has gained an overall knowledge of the topics treated within the course, and its ability to discriminate between different semiconductor technologies, their most relevant areas of applications and understand the fundamental physical-chemical principles behind these technologies.
