Semiconductor Devices & Technology – EE Master Specialisation

The specialisation Semiconductor Devices and Technology (SDT) is one of the several Electrical Engineering Master specialisations. It covers semiconductors and the devices made from them, such as diodes, transistors, and chips. You’ll learn how semiconductors are made. Both in theoretical courses, but also in practical courses where you go into the Nanolab clean room, or into the measurement lab to characterise your device.

Transistors, diodes and capacitors: the topic of study in this track. Research in this area involves the invention and improvement of devices and (micro)fabrication processes; and the development of fundamental understanding of the underlying device physics. Integrated circuits take centre stage, but also solar cell technology is studied. The Nanolab fabrication facility allows us to demonstrate such new ideas on a variety of devices and develop the science of working principles and design, with the aim to transfer this knowledge to industry.
The specialisation Semiconductor devices and technology is directly linked with the research group Integrated Devices and Systems (IDS) and the research institute MESA+. This means you will have excellent peer guidance and will be working on the newest challenges.
