Summary

The aim of teaching of the subject is to provide students with basic information about current and prospective materials, which are used in various fields of electrical engineering and micro-electronics. Individual categories of materials for applications in electrical engineering are the following ones: conductive materials (conductors, super-conductors, materials for contacts, thermo-electric conversion, resistance materials, solders), dielectrics, ferro-electric materials and insulating materials, magnetic materials (soft, hard, special - based on alloys of rare-earth metals and oxides) semiconductors for micro- and opto-electronics, solar cells, metallic glasses, liquid crystals, nano-materials.The subject is oriented on characterisation of the processes for preparation of individual types of materials by the existing technologies in relation to micro-electronics, used materials and directions of development for the needs of qualified solution of problems connected with continuing miniaturisation of electronic systems and elements. Considerable attention is paid to semi-conductors and integrated circuits with very high integration, to the impact of geometric dimensions on properties of solid materials, to the influence of non-equilibrium processes on the formation of micro-structure, to the principles of selectivity and to the procedures of micro-technological operations using synthesis, forming of micro- and nano-layers, their characterisation, properties and applications in electronics. Lectures on theory of synthesis of materials, molecular engineering and micro-technologies will give an idea about technologies of next decades.
