課程大綱 Course Syllabus
課程概述 Course Description	In this course, students will learn the fundamental properties, synthesis methods and applications of various advanced materials, ranging from semiconductors, to quantum matters and low-dimensional nano-materials. Start from Si technology, you will learn the thermodynamics and kinetics of bulk and thin film growth processes. Especially, the principles and development of the specific process and factors that control the material quality will be taught. In addition, some important issues like contact problem, doping and dielectric layer would be discussed. Besides Si, the second and third generation semiconductors, such as GaAs and GaN, would be introduced. Breakthroughs in synthesis of these materials have enabled or enhanced their unique properties, which can change our daily life. After introducing the semiconductor properties and applications, we will take a step forward to a variety of materials, including ferroelectrics, oxide-based superconductor, spintronics materials, followed by energy materials such as thermoelectrics, batteries, perovskites, polymers and metal organic framework (MOF). Low-dimensional materials from 0D, 1D to 2D will be taught in the end of the course.
課程目標 Course Objective	This multidisciplinary course will provide the knowledge of the physics and materials science of different advanced materials. Moreover, the course provides a comprehensive overview of a variety of growth methods, ranging from solution-based process, solid state synthesis, ball milling, to vapor phase deposition techniques such as sputtering, CVD, MOCVD, and MBE. The ultimate course objective is to enhance the critical and innovative thinking of students by in depth understanding the relationship between the growth/morphology/structure of the materials and the fundamental properties, which holds the key for realizing practical applications of these advanced materials and devices.
