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.

The course covers the basic principles of semiconductor devices in micro-, opto-, and power electronics. It imparts knowledge both of the basic physics and on the operation principles of pn-junctions, diodes, contacts, bipolar transistors, MOS devices, solar cells, photodetectors, LEDs and laser diodes.

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.

This lecture provides theoretical and experimental knowledge on the techniques for the characterization and numerical modeling of power semiconductors, as well on the related built-in reliability strategies.

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.

"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.

This first course in a series that extends over three consecutive terms is concerned with tailoring algorithms and with devising high performance hardware architectures for their implementation as ASIC or with FPGAs. The focus is on front end design using HDLs and automatic synthesis for producing industrial-quality circuits.

This second course in our VLSI series is concerned with how to turn digital circuit netlists into safe, testable and manufacturable mask layout, taking into account various parasitic effects. Starting in 2025, the course will rely on pre-dominantly open-source tools and put more emphasis on hands-on design. All students will be expected to complete their own design (in groups of two).

In this revamped course, we will concentrate on practical aspects of modern integrated circuit testing with an emphasis on hands-on-experience on an IC tester. This will help students to better understand several aspects that have been highlighted in previous VLSI lecture series and allow them to test their own ICs designed during prior semester/bachelor theses.
