Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: Every winter semester
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:After successfully completing the module, students have learned the basics of semiconductor processing technologies and have gained background of relating physical and technological processes. They are able to comprehend the technological manufacturing process of modern semiconductor devices based on their operating principles physical structure.
Contents:The overview of the manufacturing processes and the technological-physical correlations enables the students to evaluate semiconductor technologies with regard to their suitability for application, e.g. in electronic circuits.
  • Historical overview of the development of semiconductor technology and semiconductor market
  • Semiconductor physics basics
  • Basics of integrated semiconductor devices (passives, diode, bipolartransistor, FET)
  • Si crystal lattice, crystal growth, wafer production, doping and contamination of wafer material
  • Oxidation
  • Doping by diffusion and implantation
  • Epitaxial growth of crystalline Si(Ge) layers on the substrate
  • Structuring by lithography, etching process
  • Cleaning and planarization processes
  • Silicon on insulator (SOI)
  • Outlook on future semiconductor technologies
The exercise offered in addition to the lecture enables the students to deepen and apply the acquired knowledge through concrete and current tasks from semiconductor technology. In this context, teamwork is taught and insights into the working methods of a leading research institute are given.
