The lecture provides an overview of the fundamental working principles of semiconductor optoelectronic devices.The lecture is complemented by 11 exercises to deepen the knowledge gained in the lectures.

The Laboratory courses in the 5th and 6th semesters enable the students to put the the contents of the courses from the four first semesters to the test and to consolidate the aquired knowledge. Furthermore students have the possibilty to gain specific knowledge in certain software packages as MATLAB.

In this edition of the Integrated Systems Seminar, members of the Digital Circuits and Systems group give technical presentations on their work in an environment that simulates a technical conference andinteract with the audience. In addition, short tutorial lectures will be given to support students for their dissemination activities.

Material Properties that are important for the study of micro- and nanosystems will be reviewed. Also methods to characterize materials will be described.In particular, the following topics will be covered:continuum mechanical propertieselectrical propertiesoptical propertiesthermal and transport propertiessurface properties

The lecture provides an overview of the fundamental working principles of semiconductor optoelectronic devices.Students will get the opportunity to deepen the knowledge gained in lectures by attending exercise sessions provided in the framework of the lecture.

Lecture; students are introduced to quantum mechanics for phenomena on the nanoscale. Motivated by the limits of classical physics, they will learn the basic mathematical tools and concepts in order to describe quantum phenomena. As application, practical examples in electronics, optics and mechanics are studied which can only be understood using quantum physics.

"Solid State Electronics" is an introductory condensed matter physics course covering crystal structure, electron models, classification of metals, semiconductors, and insulators, band structure engineering, thermal and electronic transport in solids, magnetoresistance, and optical properties of solids.
