TNE037 Material Science for Electronic Construction, 6 ECTS credits.
/Materialvetenskap för elektronikkonstruktion/

For:   ED   MES  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 48
Rec. self-study hours: 112

  Area of Education: Technology

Subject area: Electrical Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
In order to design and build reliable, producible and functional electronic systems an engineer needs knowledge about the materials and material properties. The course will survey the physical, chemical and mathematical properties of engineering materials used in the technology of electronics production. It will include materials interactions and mutual compatibility, thermal issues, magnetic and optical properties and materials processes for production and failure analysis, so that we are prepared to design for reliability, producibility and functionality .After this course the student should be able to
  • Describe the structure of the solid state materials.
  • Explain, relate, and use relations in thermally activated processes.
  • Calculate and relate thermal and mechanical properties of solid state materials.
  • Explain phase diagram.
  • Describe the interaction of metals, ceramics, glasses and composite materials with each other and with the environment.
  • Explain electrical, magnetic and optical properties of materials.


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Physical Modelling, Mathematical Statistics, Electronics Manufacturing Methods and Processes

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
