Syllabus
Course overview and goals
This course provides fundamental aspects of chemical thermodynamics for electronic materials and device processes. Firstly, students will be introduced to thermodynamic functions of enthalpy, entropy, and free energy from the chemical reactions point of view. Also, this course will deal with surface reactions for electronic material/device processes as a case study of the energetic analysis of chemical reactions.
Course description and aims
Through the course, the students will be able to
1) understand chemical reaction equilibrium analysis using the thermodynamic functions
2) understand surface reactions for electronic material/device processes.
Keywords
Chemical thermodynamics, thermodynamic functions, surface reaction
