M2 - Physics and Materials Engineering 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 begins with the study of situations where the solution is analytical, followed by situations where the solution is semi-analytical, before tackling the finite-difference method DF. Different DF schemes are proposed, each time with an evaluation of convergence as a function of various key parameters (domain truncation, number of samples, etc.). Finally, examples of concrete physical applications are studied.

The third and final part of the course is devoted to processes for the production of micro-, nano- and opto-electronic devices. The latest technological building blocks not covered in previous semesters are presented in detail. The modeling and simulation of technological processes is a key aspect, as an introduction to TCAD solutions. Finally, all these lessons are synthesized in a concrete way, with the sequence of all these technological stages leading to the production of discrete and integrated components, from wafer to packaged device.

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

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