### 1.1.2 Relation to Other Courses

| The graduate course "Semiconductors" interacts with several other courses in the materials science curriculum. A certain amount of overlap is unavoidable.
| Of course, "semiconductors" relates to the truly basic courses in materials science, like thermodynamics, analytics, or solid state physics (all of which are required for all students) - it simply relies on the stuff covered there.
|  | Below is a list of courses that are electives (at least for some), but have some relation to "Semiconductors".
| Electronic Materials (Werkstoffe der Elektrotechnik und Sensorik I; Prof. Föll) or its successor Advanced Materials B..
|  | Required for Masters students.
|  | Focuses on a short introduction to Silicon technology and materials but covers mainly dielectric and magnetic materials.
| Si Technology I + II (Prof. Wagner)
|  | Elective for Master students.
|  | Covers Si and Si technology (with emphasize on MEMS), which is not included in this course.
| Quantum Theory for Materials Scientists (Dr. Carstensen)
|  | Elective for all students
|  | A must if you really want to understand semiconductors
| Thin Solid films I (Various lecturers)
|  | Elective for Masters students
|  | Perfectly complements the technological part of "Semiconductors".
| Defects in Crystals (Prof. Föll)
|  | Elective for all students
|  | Most semiconductors except Si are plagued by crystal defects, so some basic knowledge of crystal lattice defects is helpful but not really necessary.
