3. Course Objectives

- 교과목 개요: The semiconductor devices are composed of various materials, i.e. metals, semiconductor, dielectrics, polymers in thin film structure, even in a nanometer scale. Therefore, it is required to understand the semiconductor technology, in the view of materials science and nanotechnology. This lecture provides the basic principles of materials used in semiconductor devices.
- 교육 목표: This course covers the basic theories and various properties of thin film such as metals, dielectrics, polymers, and semiconducting materials, which comprise semiconductor devices. In this class, students will understand basic materials science, such as crystal structure, synthesis, and materials properties necessary for present and future semiconductor devices.
