The doctoral study programme is focused on the preparation of scientific and research specialists in various fields of microelectronics and technology for electrical engineering. Particularly in the theory, design and testing of integrated circuits and systems, in semiconductor devices and structures, intelligent sensors, optoelectronics, electrical technology materials, industrial processes and electric power sources. Doctoral studies are closely associated with scientific and research activities of the faculty staff. The aim is to provide the PhD education (to the graduates of master's programme) in all subareas of microelectronics and deepen the theoretical knowledge (especially in mathematics and physics), teach the PhD students to the methods of scientific work, and provide them with special knowledge and practical skills (both obtained mainly during their researching activities associated with solving dissertation thesis issues). Current and expected future trends play an important role, particularly in electronics and communication technology. Due to the developed theoretical education of high quality and specialisation in chosen field of study the PhD graduates are sought as specialists in all areas of electrical engineering.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.

The doctors are able to solve scientific and complex engineering tasks from the area of microelectronics and electrical technology
Wide fundamentals and deep theoretical basis of the study program bring high adaptability and high qualification of doctors for the most of requirements of their future creative practice in all areas of
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.

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.

6. Nanostructured layers of active materials of lead-acid batteries.

   For lead-acid battery is achieved only limited utilization of the active material, which is around 40%. A possible way to overcome this limitation is the transition from micro to nano particle size of active materials (especially PbO2), which occurs due to an increase in the active surface with the result of higher yield. The task of research to preparation of nanostructured active materials sizes and verify the above hypothesis.

   TTarget of the topic is the design of the suitable fibre optic grating systems for forming and evaluation of the radiation patterns in the fibre based sensing and communication systems. On top of composing the numerical model blocks for individual and superimposed gratings, grating cascades and chirped gratings, it is essential to create the behavioural models for the analysis of gratings with phase and amplitude corrections and models for the analysis of Fabry-Perot, Michelson a Mach-Zehnder fibre interferometers allowing the arbitrary combination of diffractive fibre elements. Using the above modelling shall lead to the design and experimental verification of the fibre setups for efficient forming and evaluation of optical signals in fibres

1. Low power converters for energy harvesting transducers.

   In case of standard power converters the energy needed for the control of switching devices is sometimes larger than the energy which may be obtained from the energy harvesting (EH) transducer. The extremly low power control solutions are therefore required. Concurrently, the design of respective EH transducer, the processes iutilized for the conversion and material properties are important in each individual case and must be taking into consideration.
