Master Of Science In Green Electronics

Course details

The Master of Science in Green Electronics is a highly specialized programme which is jointly offered by Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Technische Universität München (TUM). This programme aims to educate next generation semiconductor researchers and engineers to work in the research areas of novel electronic/optoelectronic devices and systems, with particular focus on the energy, sensing, monitoring and manufacturing fields.

The students will gain comprehensive and in-depth knowledge of micro-/nano-fabrication technology and advanced theories for renewable energy, power semiconductores as well as organic semiconductor devices and systems. The topics covered in this program deal with the state of art research and industrial developments. Essential non-technical topics such as product marketing, international management, patent law and aspects of culture and globalization will also be covered during the course work. These non-technical courses will be given mainly by freelance lecturers from our industry partners. Upon successful completion of the 20-month programme, students will be awarded a joint Masters degree from NTU and TUM.

Successful completion of this program will equip students with the capabilities in the following technical areas:

1. Conventional semiconductor manufacturing technology which includes the materials, devices and manufacturing process.
2. Carbon and organic electronics, photovoltaic, sensor and display technology which include the corresponding materials, devices and manufacturing process.
3. Green technology for energy harvesting, wireless sensor networks and cyber systems.
