Course detail
Electronic Components Production
FEKT-MPC-VSKAcad. year: 2022/2023
The course deals with basic physical principles of semiconductors, including their production. The course provides an overview of semiconductor chip development, production of individual types of components and their connection. The course is focused mainly on various types of diodes and transistors, the problems of their production with explanation of individual manufacturing operations (Oxidation, epitaxy, photolithography, diffusion, implantation) and phenomena that may occur in components (Stress migration, electromigration). The individual manufacturing operations are explained and demonstrated in the laboratory in an illustrative way so that the student gains basic knowledge about the structure of semiconductor devices and their function. Lessons are supervised by expert from practice (firm ON Semiconductor Czech Republic, s.r.o.). The subject offers a good overview about technological processes that are used for semiconductor technologies.
