Department of Semiconductor Physics of the Physics Department at Novosibirsk State University

Abstract

The Department of Semiconductor Physics at the Faculty of Physics, Novosibirsk State University, trains specialists for research work in the field of condensed matter physics, semiconductor physics and the physics of low-dimensional systems and nanostructures. It also provides knowledge enabling its graduates to participate in developing semiconductor technologies, improving existing and creating new opto-, micro- and nanoelectronic devices. The article describes the history of the creation of the department, the main stages of the formation of training courses and work on the organization of students’ research practice in the laboratories of Rzhanov Institute of Semiconductor Physics (ISP), which is the basic Institute for the department. An overview of the training courses taught at the department for the preparation of bachelors and masters is given. It is told about the scientific and technological achievements of ISP, and about unique measuring, analytical and technological equipment available in the laboratories of the Institute, which is the basis for organizing research work of students at a high scientific and methodological level.
