Course detail

Microelectronic Technologies

FEKT-DPA-ME2Acad. year: 2022/2023

The subject is focused on a study of the microelectronic technologies using seminary and self-study. Students will take-up overview about elemental and advanced methods and techniques, material utilization, and rules for microstructure creation. They will know how to take bearings in areas of the design and fabrication, as well about utilization of nanotechnologies in microelectronics.
