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

This course is designed to give students skills in the numerical solution of the Schrödinger equation in order to simulate complex quantum well structures. The course starts with the study of situations where the solution is analytical, then situations where the solution is semi-analytical before attacking on the finite difference method FD. Different FD schemes are proposed with, each time, an evaluation of the convergence according to different key parameters (truncation of the domain, number of samples...). Finally, examples of concrete physical applications are studied.

Third and last part of the courses dedicated to the elaboration processes of micro, nano- and opto-electronic devices. The last technological building blocks not yet covered in the previous semesters are presented in detail. The modeling and simulation of technological processes is predominant, as an introduction to TCAD solutions. Finally, the synthesis of all these teachings is carried out in a concrete way with the sequence of all these technological steps in order to realize discrete and integrated components, from wafer to packaged devices.

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

The aim is to describe the elaboration of low dimensional materials, the associated electronic, photonic and phononic structures, to study the transport phenomena, the electron-photon and electron-phonon couplings, the excitons as well as the absorption, emission and diffusion of light.

This module is an opportunity for students to discover the specificities of the working world and to prepare themselves to enter it under the best possible conditions, notably through sharing experiences with professional speakers. Students practice applying for a job in a methodical way, optimizing the analysis of the offer, the targeted writing of the CV and the cover letter, the preparation of the job interview (role plays, simulations).
