The Master in Semiconductor Devices Engineering (MEDS) programme has the following general objectives:

- To train qualified Masters with solid preparation in the areas of Physics Engineering and Electronics, with knowledge and experience in the field of semiconductors and devices, capable of dealing with complex multidisciplinary technological problems;
- To provide graduates with competencies and skills in the field of semiconductor design to application, encompassing integrated valences in the areas of Semiconductor Physics, Semiconductor Devices, Semiconductor Device Systems and Applications; Completion of a Dissertation/Project/Internship in a research or industrial environment, promoting autonomy;
- To train graduates with experience, adapted to new technological developments, applying solid knowledge in Physics, Microelectronics/Electronics and Systems, in a strategic economic area for the country's economic growth and development in different technological fields of action for the needs of society.

The MEDS has as its learning objectives to provide graduates with the necessary training and integrated multidisciplinary skills in Physics/Physics Engineering and Electronic Engineering in the topics of semiconductor physics and characterization; constitution, operation and modelling of the main semiconductor devices; and, finally, their application in electronic systems of practical interest. This focus ensures education quality aligns with global standards for advancing technological innovation.

After obtaining the degree, the Master should possess knowledge, competencies and skills in semiconductor technologies (from design to application), be able to identify, analyse, design, simulate and solve complex multidisciplinary technological problems, implement solutions and benchmark their performance in economic development and various societal application fields, work autonomously and in multidisciplinary teams, communicate verbally and in writing the results of learning, thinking and decision-making.

The study cycle aims to train graduates with knowledge, competencies and skills capable of driving the development of the next generation of semiconductor components and devices to empower the industries of several strategic sectors, such as semiconductors, microelectronics, electronic and optoelectronic devices, micromanufacturing, processing and integration, device architecture, circuits and systems.

Semiconductor materials and their devices, namely their transformation and integration into components, products and systems, have a direct impact on people's daily lives in the automotive and transport sectors, aeronautics, health, environment, energy, communications, information, telecommunications, electronics and automation (including sensors and actuators), defence, computing and instrumentation, security, agriculture, textiles and general consumer goods, among others, and are therefore of particular interest in the current energy, ecological and digital transition agendas, and strategic for strengthening sovereignty. Notably, advancements in these technologies support the integration of renewable energy solutions, enhancing access to affordable and clean energy systems worldwide.

Introductory Course in Photonics Innovation for Digital Infrastructures
Online
10:00 - 12:00

What to expect


This online training courses serves as a general introduction to the exciting world of photonics and how businesses across the field of Digital infrastructure can benefit from photonics-led innovations. This introductory course provides a comprehensive overview of photonics technologies, including an introduction on how to design Photonic ICs (design environments: Nazca, GDSFactory) on our Open Photonic Platform currently under development. We will be closing this course with an outline of the suite of supports available from PhotonHub and how companies can apply. Online training also provides an open forum for attendees during the session to ask specific questions to experts in the field of photonic technologies and their applications for Digital Infrastructures. This online training course is free-of-charge but requires attendees to register in advance.
