learning outcome

Students are able to explain the mechanical and functional properties of materials in micro- and nanotechnology starting from the microscopic and submicroscopic structure. The can analyze changes in the properties and judge them for their applicability in new applications and can develop strategies for their implementation.
Students know the various materials in micro- and nanotechnology and in sensorics. They gain knowledge about the basic materials properties, their application and the fabrication of such materials.
The students know the basics of fabrication of highly integrated circuits, the preparation of microsystems and sensors and how the materials have to be selected.
Various methods and steps, materials and their control and analysis are treated for selected applications.
In the seminar, the students gain deeper knowledge for selected examples, and they learn how to search information and how to present this in a talk and to discuss the problems.
