Distance form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
- Know the basics of semiconductor physics, quantum mechanics, principles of solid state theory, basics of nanoelectronics. - Be able to measure optical and electrophysical parameters and characteristics of optoelectronic materials, analyze the operation of semiconductor electronic circuits with diodes, transistors, lasers and photodetectors. - Have basic skills in analyzing the operation of solid-state devices electronics and nanoelectronics, optics devices.
Course content
The course covers basic professional skills in the field of photovoltaics and optoelectronics, physics of nonequilibrium processes in semiconductor nanostructures. The physical bases of the main types of solar cells and photodetectors are considered. The course includes practical classes that allow you to gain experience in studying the optical properties of nanostructures and optoelectronic devices based on them.
