Courses
Lab in nanoelectronics
EE-490(i)
Students will work in the laboratory and the EPFL CMI cleanroom on a process flow for fabricating devices based on 2D semiconductors.
Physical models for micro and nanosystems
EE-536
Students will learn simple theoretical models, the theoretical background of finite element modeling as well as its application to modeling charge, mass and heat transport in electronic, fluidic and electromechanical micro and nanosystem.
Semiconductor devices II
EE-567
Students will learn about understanding the fundamentals and applications of emerging nanoscale devices, materials and concepts. Remark: at least 5 students should be enrolled for the course to be given
