Comments about MSc Nanoelectronics - At the institution - Southampton - Hampshire

• Objectives
  Electronic and optoelectronic technologies have evolved to the extent that modern device features are measured in nm. As a result of this, and the growth of quantum technologies, many new device concepts, fabrication methods and characterisation techniques have emerged. Nanotechnology has become a key area of research within the School, and internationally it is an increasingly important feature of modern electronics manufacture and research in industry. This programme shares some features of our traditional Microelectronics System Design programme; however, the focus within Nanoelectronics moves away from system design and concentrates more on discrete devices and fabrication and characterisation technologies. Aspects of the course consider bio-electronics, microsystem technologies and optical nanotechnologies. In the second semester and during the summer you will have the opportunity to undertake specialized Individual Research Projects and MSc Projects within our nanoelectronics and optoelectronics research teams in both the NSI group and the Optoelectronics Research Centre.
