課程概述 |
Special topics in contemporary applied physics
During the past 80 years, modern applied physics has pushed, inspired, and produced major high-tech industries, from computing, communication, memory, display, transportation, to energy. This has been unprecedented in human history of science and technology. Applied physics has played a drastically different role than the conventional paths taken by academic (ivory tower) science and traditional industries. Quantum phenomena (and theories), new materials/atomic-scale thin films (and their fabrication tools such as molecular beam epitaxy, atomic layer deposition, metal-organic chemical vapor deposition), novel (and high performance) devices, and atomic-scale probing tools have been intertwined and generated useful and essential products beneficial to human being, for example in revolutionizing computing/communication,drastically improving medical diagnosis, etc.
Moreover and very importantly, new physics/application has been discovered, leading to Nobel Prizes; transistor, lasers, quantum Hall effect/fractionalquantum Hall effect, fiber optics, charge-coupled devices, to name a few.
Modern applied physics is not just a branch of physics. It has been and is strongly engaging materials science, electrical engineering, and high-tech industries. We have designed this new course of Selected Special Topics in Contemporary Applied Physics – I in Spring Semester of 2012. The focus will be on nano-electronics for post Si CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) and energy, two most important fields needing thorough understanding of physicsand new materials. These two topics are strongly relevant to Taiwan’s industry.
In nano-electronics, the high-(83db)plus metal gate, which replaced conventional SiO2 and poly-Si and resolved the gate leakage issue in the 45 nm MOSFET production, is one of the most important recent innovations in CMOS, and puts the dominant role of Si as the major semiconductor into question.

In nano-electronics, the high-(83db)plus metal gate, which replaced conventional SiO2 and poly-Si and resolved the gate leakage issue in the 45 nm MOSFET production, is one of the most important recent innovations in CMOS, and puts the dominant role of Si as the major semiconductor into question. The new technology of high-(83db)plus metal gate on high mobility semiconductorslike Ge and InGaAshybrid with Si will lead to faster devicesand closethe so-called performance gap, where the expected increase in switching speed of the devices no longer keeps up with the scaling trend. Further, continuouslyincreasing transistorcount per chip has increasedthe overall power consumption,thus the performance per watt of energy consumption has become a key figure-of-merit. The high mobility materials offer distinct advantages over Si in achieving high performance at low supply voltages, thus reducing power consumptions. The present feverish world-wide research efforts are integratingadvanced research programs on nano-science, nano-materials, andnano-electronics cohesively to enable a highperformance “green” IC technology.
Energy is the most sought after topic worldwide recently. Nuclear energy and solar energy are critically important for reducing CO2, leading to a greener environment.
Perspective students (Ph.D., Master, Senior, Junior) will be assigned topics for their mid-term and final reports; the degree/level of the assigned research topics will depend on the perspective students’ backgrounds. The reports will be presented in oral and written forms in English. The mid-term orals will be given in 8 minutes with the final in 15 minutes. The reports are not collections of information, but are required to be based on rigorous scientific knowledge. They are encouraged to broaden their knowledge in physics to tackle the challenges in the assigned/selected topics. Homework will be given from time to time.
The perspective students are required and encouraged to apply their understanding in rigorous physics to tackle research topics relevant to high tech industry in Taiwan. Particularly, undergraduates of juniors and seniors are permitted and encouraged to take the course, with the assigned topics to be adjusted to suit their status in their physics understanding in their perspective years.
