(Download brochure here )

This minor comprises modules related to the fundamentals of optics and semiconductors. It is aimed at familiarizing students with both the physics and the processing of semiconductor and photonic devices. It would be especially useful for preparing students for employment in the microelectronics and optical industry.

To be awarded a minor in Optical & Semiconductor Technology, a student must pass the following six modules:

 
i
 PC1143 Physics III or PC1432 Physics IIE
 
ii
 PC2131 Electricity and Magnetism I or EE2005 Electronics
 
iii
 PC3247 Modern Optics
 
iv
 PC3243 Photonics
 
v
 PC3241 Solid State Devices or EE2004 Electronic Devices
 
vi
 PC3242 Physics of Semiconductor Processing

This minor is not awarded with the primary major in Physics or Physics (with specialisations in Astrophysics or Physics in Technology) and second major in Physics.

The minor requirement for the 2006 cohort and earlier are as follows:

 
i
 PC1142 or PC1431
 
ii
 PC1143 or PC1432
 
iii
 PC2231
 
iv
 PC3243 or EE2005
 
v
 PC3241 or EE2004
 
vi
 PC3242 or PC3245
