PRINTED AND FLEXIBLE ELECTRONICS: MANUFACTURING, DEVICES, AND APPLICATIONS

MS&E 362

Experiments in the mechanical and electronic properties of matter in bulk and thin films; computer instrument control; and data analysis.

MS&E 756

Prepares graduate students for research in electronic materials and related areas by examining (1) how does the physical structure of a material affect its electronic structure and properties: and (2) state-of-the-art advance electronic materials. Topics include: molecular and organic semiconductors; carbon nanomaterials (nanotubes, nanoribbons and graphene); advances in conventional bulk zinc-blende and wurtzite semiconductors; polycrystalline, amorphous, and disordered materials; state-of-the-art high- low-k dielectrics; and up-and-coming and next-generation materials. Knowledge of solid state physics [such asPHYSICS 551orM S & E 456] required.

MS&E 434

Introduction to major thin-film deposition techniques and properties of thin films. Evaporation, plasma assisted processes with emphasis on sputter deposition, chemical vapor deposition ion beams. Film properties and characterization methods, applications.

ECE 335

Characteristics of semiconductors; study of physical mechanisms and circuit modeling of solid state electronic and photonic devices; principles of microelectronic processing and examples of integrated circuits.

ME 514

A quantitative and qualitative study of additive manufacturing processes. Emphasis on proper additive manufacturing technique selection for optimized final product design and properties, as well as presentation of emerging additive manufacturing techniques.
