Program Overview

This course covers the fundamentals and cutting-edge research in areas such as GaN materials and devices (behind the solid state lighting LED revolution), nanoscaled materials and devices, and photonic device manufacture. You will develop a comprehensive understanding of the materials and device theory plus practical experimental skills in extensive semiconductor cleanroom labwork, giving you a competitive edge in the jobs market.

Course Content
Opportunities exist for dissertation studies to be carried out in collaboration with other university research centres or with industrial organisations. Examples of previous projects include:
- Selective area intermixing of quantum dot laser materials.
- Wavelength agile GaAs based distributed feedback lasers.
- Modelling and simulation photonic crystal surface emitting laser.
- Characteristic of III-nitride based ultra energy efficient emitter for solid-state lighting.
- Characterisation of III-V solar cells.
Core modules:
- MSc Investigative Research Project
- Semiconductor Materials
- Principles of Semiconductor Device Technology
- Energy Efficient Semiconductor Devices
- Compound Semiconductor Device Manufacture
Entry Requirement
You will usually need a 3 or 4 year bachelors degree from a recognised university in a relevant subject for entry. Most postgraduate courses require a UK 2:1 or equivalent for entry, but some courses may consider 2:2 grades.
