During the past 80 years, applied physics has pushed, inspired, and produced major high-tech industries,

fromcomputing, 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 science and

traditional industries.

Quantum phenomena (and the related 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/high-performance devices, and atomic-scale probing tools have been intertwined and generated useful

and essential products beneficial to human being, in revolutionizing computing/communication, and drastically

improving medical diagnosis.

Very importantly, new physics/application has been discovered, such as transistors, lasers,

quantum Hall effect/fractional quantum Hall effect, fiber optics, charge-coupled devices,

2-dimensional quantum materials.

Applied physics has been strongly engaging in materials science,

electrical/electronic devices, and high-tech industries.

We have designed this new course of Advanced applied physics topics in ultimate and beyond CMOS

in the Fall Semester of 2016.

The focus will be on nano-electronics for ultimate CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) and beyond,

which needs strong understanding of solid-state and semiconductor physics and new materials

such as spintronics and topological insulators. These topics are enabling advanced devices for Taiwans industry.

In nano-electronics, the high- plus metal gate, which replaced conventional SiO2 and poly-Si

and resolved the gate leakage issue since the 45 nm node CMOS production, is one of the most important

recent innovations in semiconductor industry, and puts the dominant role of Si as the major semiconductor

into question.

The new technology of high- plus metal gate on high mobility semiconductors like Ge and InGaAs integrated

with Si will lead to faster devices with low power consumption. The present feverish world-wide research efforts

are integrating advanced research programs on nano-science, nano-materials, and nano-electronics cohesively

to enable a high performance “green” IC technology.

Spintronics and topological insulators are being feverishly studied for beyond the present

CMOS based on the charges of the electrons.
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. College of Science We will spend 8 weeks in rigorously studying fundamental solid state physics with Ashcrof/Mermin

“Solid State Physics” as the textbook, and semiconductor physics/devices with Taur/Ning

“Fundamentals of Modern VLSI Devices” as the textbook.

We then spend 4 weeks in researching in the ultimate CMOS with high k + metal gates on InGaAs and Ge,

and another 4 weeks in spintronics and topological insulators. Perspective students

(Ph.D., Master, undergraduates) 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 10 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.
