Courses

Physics of semiconductors devices

The students are able to explain the physics of semiconductor devices like diodes, transistors, and MOS devices. They use such devices in fundamental electronic circuits, like inverters and amplifiers.

La science quantique : une vision singulière

Students understand the characteristics of quantum science. They master the formalism and use it in basic quantum systems: quantum wells, wires, dots or qubits.

Optical detectors

Students analyse the fundamental characteristics of optical detectors. Thermal and photoemissive devices as well as photodiodes and infrared sensors are studied. CCD and CMOS cameras are analysed in detail. Single photon detection is explained.
