Physics: Crystal Growth and Semiconductor Epitaxy

Utbildningsfakta

Kod: FYST71

<p>The aim of the course is to provide necessary knowledge to understand crystal growth and especially semiconductor epitaxy.</p><p>This course treats the fundamental aspects of crystal growth, e.g. the thermodynamic prerequisites for crystal growth such as chemical potential, construction of binary phase diagrams, supersaturation, and nucleation. Further on, surface energies, surface diffusion, and Wulff’s theorem are studied.</p> <p>In the course section on epitaxial growth surface reconstructions, lattice mismatch, and dislocations, as well as characterization - both in- and ex-situ are discussed. Growth techniques and reactor models are also dealt with.</p> <p>During the course, the various moments will be illuminated by examples from modern research, especially research on epitaxy of nanostructures.</p>

Behörighet

Admission to the course requires 90 credits in scientific studies, or a bachelor's degree in physics, chemistry or equivalent - in both cases including a course that contains at least 2.5 credits thermodynamics. Furthermore is required English 6/B.
