Responsible Staff Member:
  • Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dr. rer. nat. habil. Schenk, Harald
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: Every summer semester
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:Upon successful completion of the module, students will have a thorough and organized understanding of advanced techniques for characterizing nanostructures, ultrathin films, and nanocomposites, as well as their essential role in modern micro/nano systems and semiconductor devices. They can recognize how the performance, functionality, and reliability of these devices are closely tied to the quality of these components.
