M2 - Physics and Materials Engineering for Microelectronics and Nanotechnologies (PHYMATECH)

This course is designed to provide students with skills in the field of numerical solution of the Schrödinger equation in order to simulate complex quantum well structures. The course begins by studying situations where the solution is analytical, then situations where the solution is semi-analytical, before moving on to the finite difference (FD) method. Various FD schemes are proposed, each with an evaluation of convergence based on different key parameters (domain truncation, number of samples, etc.). Finally, examples of concrete physical applications are studied.

Third and final part of the course devoted to micro, nano, and optoelectronic device fabrication processes. The latest technological building blocks not yet covered in previous semesters are presented in detail. The modeling and simulation aspects of technological processes are emphasized, as an introduction to TCAD solutions. Finally, all of these lessons are synthesized in a practical manner, with a sequence of all of these technological steps in order to produce discrete and integrated components, from wafers to packaged devices.

This EU presents the physical properties of different nanostructures such as quantum wells, 1D photonic crystals, carbon nanotubes, and graphene. Electronic (structure and transport), vibrational, and optical properties are discussed, as well as radiation-matter interaction.

This will involve describing the development of low-dimensional materials and the associated electronic, photonic, and phononic structures, studying transport phenomena, electron-photon and electron-phonon couplings, excitons, and the absorption, emission, and scattering of light.

This module gives students the opportunity to discover the specifics of the world of work and prepare themselves to enter it in the best possible conditions, in particular through sharing experiences with professionals from the field. Students practice how to successfully apply for a job, using a methodical approach, optimizing their analysis of the job offer, writing a targeted resume and cover letter, and preparing for the job interview (role-playing, simulations).

Design of experiments is part of the quality process. It is a method of conducting tests and analyzing data that saves time and money. That is why it is very useful in industry.

The emphasis is on understanding the basics.

It is an interactive course, with an example-based approach.
