Microelectronics is a technology that is present in almost every aspect of our modern lives: PCs, smartphones, smartwatches, TVs, home appliances, etc. All those commodities that we have and use in daily basis, and we cannot imagine anymore a life without them are basically composes by many electronic components and microelectronic systems. Microelectronics is also a key aspect of strategic industries as automotive, military or aeronautical.
The following course is intended for anyone interested in the domain of microelectronics. It will show the basics on them as preparation for further deep dive courses. Additionally, this course offers students the opportunity to engage in remote laboratory practices, bringing the hands-on experience directly to their homes or study locations. Through advanced online platforms and real-time technology, participants will be able to explore and experiment with fundamental concepts and procedures within a virtual lab environment.
