About the course
A Master of Engineering (MEng) degree is ideal for a recent graduate or professional seeking advanced training to enhance and strengthen a career in the field of engineering. As part of the Master of Engineering degree (MEng), we offer our students the opportunity to specialize in specific areas and earn a Specialization in addition to their MEng degree. Courses taken towards a MEng Specialization will also be counted towards your degree requirements.
Scaling feature sizes well below 100 nanometers has been a key driver of the semiconductor industry, bringing benefits such as improved device performance, reduced power consumption and lower costs. Many other ubiquitous electronic devices, such as solar cells and lasers, exploit nanotechnology as well. The unique properties that occur on the nanoscale present both immense opportunities and challenges. This MEng Specialization covers courses from the affiliated areas of electronic materials, nanofabrication, and devices. In the core and elective courses, the various topics will include: (i) the physics and properties of silicon and other conventional electronic materials, as well as emerging nanomaterials such as graphene, carbon nanotubes and organic materials, (ii) modern and future microelectronic processing technologies including extreme ultraviolet lithography, electron beam lithography and nano-patterning, (iii) the design and operation of modern and next generation transistors, thin film transistors, solar cells, light emitting devices and photodetectors.
