    Remarks

    Lectured every second year, with "FYS-6406 Advanced Compound Semiconductor Technology" one at a time.

  • Partial passing of course must be in connection with the same round of implementation.

  • The course is suitable for postgraduate studies.

    • Distance learning

  • ITC utilized during the course

    • - In distributing and/or returning exercise work, material etc

  • Estimate as a percentage of the implementation of the course

    • - Contact teaching: 30 %
    - Distance learning: 0 %
    - Proportion of a student's independent study: 70 %
