This course provides an introductory, hands-on approach to understanding Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), with a focus on coupling mechanisms, passive component characterization, decoupling capacitors and mitigating conducted emissions. Through a series of workshops, participants will engage with advanced instruments such as Vector Network Analyzers (VNA) and oscilloscopes to conduct practical experiments. Participants will explore capacitive, inductive, galvanic, and radiated coupling on printed circuit boards (PCBs), analyze the performance of decoupling capacitors, and learn how to apply EMI mitigation techniques. The course blends theoretical insights with real-world applications, preparing learners to manage and minimize electromagnetic interference in microelectronics.

This course, as its name suggests, is about resonances - where do they cause problems, where do they solve them and how can they be measured at all?
These questions and more are dealt with and clarified in the topics Laboratory Basics, Resonance Circuits, Active Filters and Passive Filters.

Electronics is the science of controlling electrical current. Probably the most important control elements available to us in digital electronics are transistors. With them, digital calculations can be realised and memory structures can be built. This leads the way to complex computer processors and chips and their ways of communicating with each other and with us humans.
But how do such digital components work? How can we build more complex digital functions and digital storage elements? What properties do such circuits have? How can chips communicate with each other? And how can computers actually "communicate" with us and our environment? We provide answers to these questions in this course.

Electronics is the science of controlling electrical current. Probably the most important control elements available to us in microelectronics are transistors and diodes. They serve as controllable valves with which complex amplifier circuits can be built.

But how do such amplifiers work? How can they be calculated and dimensioned and what properties do such circuits have?

We provide answers to these questions in this course.

This training unit builds on previous diversity and inclusion modules by focusing on advanced practices for managing diverse teams.

This unit examines inclusive recruitment and hiring practices with a focus on reducing bias and fostering fairness in organizational decision-making. The objective is to equip participants with a critical understanding of how recruitment processes—from drafting job advertisements to candidate selection—can inadvertently exclude qualified individuals based on gender, age, ethnicity, or socio-economic background. Through analysis of real-world case studies, including blind recruitment methods, participants will learn to identify both conscious and unconscious biases that influence hiring decisions. The unit covers key topics such as inclusive job ad formulation, equitable evaluation criteria, and behavioral interventions to support unbiased selection. By the end of the unit, participants will be able to recognize exclusionary practices, apply inclusive tools, and design fairer recruitment strategies tailored to diverse work environments. The course fosters reflective practice and practical application, enabling students to become advocates for equity and inclusion in their future professional roles.

This course will provide a basic overview about different assembly technologies, their process steps, and integration opportunities for product design.

Plasma etching is one of the four big methods to structure semiconductors.

This course develops an understanding to the basic concepts of plasmaetching in a today state of the art Semiconductor manufacturing environment. Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of plasma etching techniques. Specifically, they should be able to explain the different kinds of plasma etching that exist, allowing them to identify the most suitable method for a particular application.

Students should also be able to judge whether plasma etching is an effective method for solving a specific topographic structuring requirement. This involves analyzing the requirements of the project and determining whether plasma etching can meet those needs.

In addition to understanding the general principles of plasma etching, students should have an idea of which plasma chemistry is best suited for specific etching requirements. This knowledge will enable them to select the most effective plasma chemistry for a given application.

Another key aspect of plasma etching that students should understand is endpointing of plasma processes. They should know how endpointing works and where it is needed, allowing them to optimize the plasma etching process for their specific requirements.

Students should also be familiar with the basic expressions used in plasma etching, including plasma potential, self-bias, external bias, and DC/AC plasma working principle. Understanding these concepts is essential for designing and optimizing plasma etching systems.

Finally, students should know the basic plasma chamber configurations, which will enable them to design and build effective plasma etching systems.

Problems related to the design and investigation of submicron and nanoscale MOS integrated circuits are covered by this course. Currently there are some nanotechnologies in the means of 14 nm design kits, which are available via the EUROPRACTICE organization. The main attention is drawn to the theoretical and practical usage of state-of-the-art industrial CAD systems, e.g. CADENCE, SYNOPSYS and others. The designers who use those systems can implement nanoscale elements from the relevant standard cell libraries. The specific parameters, related to the nanoscale effects are represented in the embedded system models of the elements.

Photolithography is used to define the lateral structures and patterns of semiconductor devices. The wafers are coated with a photoactive resist layer, and exposure tools transfer the image from a mask or a reticle into the resist, which is subsequently developed. This resulting pattern is a temporary mask, aiding subsequent processes such as etch or implant to modify defined areas of the device. State of the art semiconductor devices often require dozens of lithography layers. This training offers a short but concise overview of different lithographic processes and typical tools, and gives an insight into how basic physical laws interact with the real-world mass manufacturing environment. The examples and principles described cover broadband exposure as well as 365 nm and 248 nm lithography processes on steppers, scanners, and mask aligners. The examples selected aim to highlight, how the process’ outcome relies on a combination of basic principles of natural science, highly advanced production materials and equipment, as well as properties of the incoming wafers.

Ion Implantation processes contribute significantly to the development of semiconductor devices. This course covers different types and details of ion implantation equipment along with security topics. From a process point of view theory of the implantation process as well as process control concepts are discussed.

Accurate treatment of the wafer frontside and backside structures as well as sometimes influencing the bulk material itself play a crucial role to guarantee for key parameters such as highest power densities and minimal losses at required switching behaviour. Some representative examples of the needs of high, medium and low power devices based on silicon technology are described and challenges for ion implantation processing are concluded.

Additionally, other semiconductors like SiC and GaN obtain superior material characteristics compared to silicon and are therefore about to get of economic importance in the near future. That is why considerable development effort is put into the understanding of how to fabricate devices based on those materials. One ingredient is the knowledge how ion implantation can affect and tailor their semiconductor properties.
