Advanced Laboratory Techniques and Metrology
Fortgeschrittene Labor- und Messtechnik
6 CPSummerEN
Prerequisites
Recommended, as written
• Basic knowledge in physics (optics, electromagnetism) and electrical engineering • Knowledge of the topics of module 13020 Laboratory Techniques and Metrology
Contents
• Fundamentals and importance of various advance measurement techniques • Principles, properties and Application of e.g. • X-Ray Diffractometer • Raman Spectroscopy • Optical Coherence Tomography • Ultrasound Spectroscopy • Mass Spectroscopy
Learning outcomes
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.
