FEKTAbbreviation: PPA-METAcad. year: 2012/2013
Programme: Electrical Engineering and Communication
Length of Study: 4 years
Profile
The doctor study programme is devoted to the preparation of the high quality scientific and research specialists in various branches of microelectronics and electrotechnology, namely in theory, design and test of integrated circuits and systems, in semiconductor devices and structures, in smart sensors, in optoelectronics in materials and fabrication processes for electrical engineering, and in sources of electric energy.
The aim is to provide the doctor education in all these particular branches to students educated in university magister study, to make deeper their theoretical knowledge, to give them also requisite special knowledge and practical skills and to teach them methods of scientific work.
Key learning outcomes
The doctors are able to solve scientific and complex engineering tasks from the area of microelectronics and electrical technology
microelectronics and electrotechnology.
The doctors are competent to work as scientists and researchers in many areas of basic research or research and development, as high-specialists in the development, design, construction, and application areas in many institutions, companies, and organisations of the electrical and electronics research, development, and industry as in the areas of electrical services and systems, inclusively in the special institutions of the state administration. In all of these branches they are able to work also as the leading scientific-, research-, development- or technical managers.
Occupational profiles of graduates with examples
The graduate of the doctoral study programme is able to solve scientific and complex engineering tasks in the field of microelectronics and technology for electrical engineering. The graduate has reached a high level of general theoretical knowledge in the branch and is further specialized in the area of his/her dissertation thesis.
Having broad theoretical knowledge, the PhD graduate is capable of meeting work requirements of both fundamental and applied research. The PhD graduates are sought out as specialists in all branches of microelectronics and technology. They are able to work as research workers, as members of management staff in fundamental or applied research, as design, construction or operation specialists in various research and development institutions, electronics manufacturing firms, and to work for various users of electronic systems and devices. They will be able to employ advanced technology everywhere in a creative way.

Issued topics of Doctoral Study Program
- Higher-order circuit elements: basic research, modeling, and simulation
The substance of the thesis is a research of basic rules and principles acting in the systems, containing the higher-order elements from Chua's periodical table of fundamental electrical circuit elements.The final aim is revealing these regularities as forth as it enables an adequate inclusion of these elements into the current circuit theory. The secondary aim is finding models of these elements and their potential utilization in SPICE-family simulation programs for implementing software experiments, and also a construction of their hardware emulators for supporting laboratory experiments.
- MEMS in biosensing applications
MEMS is currently used in biological applications for detection of intetresting biological species (BioMEMS). The aim is a new sensor for detection of nucleic acids.
- Nanodevices based on "bottom up" method
Nanodevices created by non-lithographic methods using selfordering or self-assembly phenomena.
- Research of highly sensitive and stable digital sensors of low pressure and vacuum
The topic aims to basic and applied research focused to finding new methods and principles of digital sensing of low pressure and vacuum reaching high sensitivity and stability of measurements. To enable measurements of high vacuum the development or finding appropriate material combinations is necessary.
