Course Summary

On this one-year MSc you'll gain an understanding of the micro and nanotechnology aspects of electronic engineering, with a focus on microelectromechanical systems and nanoelectronics. These technologies underpin research and development of miniaturised sensors, for example mobile phone motion and position detectors, and of nanoscale logic and memory devices for next-generation consumer electronics and future quantum devices. On this course you can address microfluidic technology for biodevices such as point-of-care diagnostics, and cover the fundamentals of photonic circuits and devices.

Modules

This module provides an overview of modern microfabrication technologies for the making of micro structures applicable to device engineering. The various fabrication techniques that are relevant for microdevices in the field of electronics, optoelectronics and micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) will be addressed in the lectures, with an emphasis on their physical, mechanical and chemical principles. The integration of these techniques will be explained with examples of complete process flow for the fabrication of different microdevices. Element of design method to produce microdevices will be introduced.
