Learning Outcomes
Competences
Upon successful completion of the laboratory course, students will be able to design and conduct experiments independently, apply advanced techniques in semiconductor physics and critically analyze and interpret their findings. They will be skilled in problem-solving, integrating scientific literature into their work, and refining their work through feedback. This course will equip students with the necessary competencies for carrying out their MSc thesis project in the Division of Semiconductor Physics.
Skills Knowledge
Upon completing the course, students will possess the following skills. They are able to

  • independently design and plan a comprehensive sequence of experiments or simulations for the characterization or design of semiconductor systems (k4);
  • prepare and handle samples (k3);
  • execute complex experimental procedures or simulations using state-of-the-art tools relevant to ongoing research in the semiconductor physics division (k3/k4);
  • identify problems that arise during work, analyze them and develop solutions independently (k5/k6);
  • analyze experimental or simulation data thoroughly, draw meaningful conclusions and present findings clearly in a well-structured report (k4/k5);
  • critically evaluate results in the context of existing scientific literature (k5);
  • reflect critically on feedback and incorporate it into their work (k5).
During the course, students will acquire practical knowledge in the experimental characterization or simulation of materials, systems or structures used in semiconductor physics research. The topics will be discussed with the supervisor before the start of the practical course.
Criteria for evaluation A combined grade will be determined, based on the execution of the lab or simulation work, the critical analysis and discussion of results and the written report.
Methods Students perform advanced experiments or simulations for an overall duration of about 2 weeks with research tools available in the Division of Semiconductor Physics.
