Microelectronics and Solid State Electronics
The functioning and development of modern engineering, including
power engineering, industry, transport, communications, agriculture, medicine, scientific
researches, and the financial sphere are impossible without microelectronics and
semi-conductor instrument making. The development of power semiconductor devices
and intellectual modules appreciably determine power saving technologies and automation
of production.
Semi-conductor sensors find increasing application in systems
designed to enhance efficiency of heat power processes and ecological monitoring.
Semi-conductor injection lasers and sensitive high-frequency
photo diodes form the basis for optical fibre communication lines, while super high
frequency transistors determine the availability of satellite communications.
Custom-made integrated circuits intensively replace electronic
circuits made on discrete devices. There is an incessant competition and cooperation
between digital engineering and functional electronics with its sections - optoelectronics,
acoustoelectronics, and cryoelectronics.
Modern computers are completely based on the super big and
super fast integrated circuits – that is, microprocessors and memory systems. In
1995 the chips - crystals of silicon which was carrying out 109 logic
operations per second - were first introduced, and in the next few years their speed
will increase by three orders.
Within several years the microelectronics will proceed from
submicron technology to nanoelectronics. Intensive works have long been in progress
to create optical computers with extremely high speeds. All these peculiarities
of modern electronics have found its place in the curricula of the specialty "Microelectronics
and solid-state electronics", which is taught at the Department "Semiconductor Electronics".
The curricula are based on a fundamental physical and mathematical
education resting upon professional utilization of computer engineering. Having
a good physical and mathematical background as well as the skills to create, use,
and predict the future development of these devices, the graduates can successfully
design, manufacture and market computers, semi-conductor materials, devices, and
integrated circuits including large and very large ones. They are skilled in the
projecting and computer modeling of natural and industrial processes and in designing
microcircuit topology and printed boards.
