Halbleitersynthese und Nanoanalytik

What it is about

You learn modern procedures for the production and nanoscale characterization of semiconductor thin films. In the end you can describe the physical foundations and experimental implementations of important deposition and analysis methods and critically interpret experimental results.

What you will be able to do

• Basic knowledge of synthesis and nano-analysis methods
• Recognize the advantages and disadvantages of the different deposition methods
• Understand the physics of plasma-assisted syntheses
• Assess the influence of experimental parameters (temperature, pressure, flow, pre-stress) on growth mode and film properties
• Describe the physical principles and key information of nano-analysis methods
• Critically interpret experimental results
• Explain how methods complement each other and what limits (sensitivity, resolution, sample impact) they have

What the module consists of

• LecturesConveying the physical principles and experimental implementation of the synthesis and analysis methods
• Tutorials/ExamplesApplication of comprehension questions and example calculations to assess learning outcomes

Teaching method

• LecturesExplanation of the physical principles and experimental implementations
• Discussion of example calculations and comprehension questionsVerification and deepening of understanding through exemplar tasks
