The objective of the course is to learn besic experimental methods in solid state physics.
Mainly methods of x-ray diffraction and reflection, optical reflectrometry and elipsometry, atomic force microscopy, Hall efect and work in clean rooms.
Syllabus
List of tasks:
1. Emission and absorption x-ray spectrum.
2. Orientation of monocrystal surface.
3. Monocrystal orientation using Laue method.
4. Powder diffractometry of cubic material.
5. X-ray reflectometry measurement of thin layer thickness.
6. Surface studies usin AFM.
7. Refractive index and thickness of thin layer using elipsometry.
8. Optical reflectivity of silicon.
9. Hall effect in metal and semiconductor.
10.Microelectronics in a clean room and principles of photolithography.

Assessment methods
Course attendace is mandatory.
Student has to present 10 tested protocols. Overall classification is detemined by the grades of individual protocols.
Testing of protocols is by the agreement with the lecturer of apropriate task.
Further comments (probably available only in Czech)
The course is taught annually.
