Abstract:
The course objective is to familiarize the students with the main active semiconductor devices. The physical
principles are studied as well as the structure, characteristic and parameters of discrete elements. Specific
applications of elements, ways of connection, and methods of operation mode computation are addressed. Brief
information about the technology of manufacturing of discrete elements and integrated circuits is given.
Course content:
Physical fundamentals of semiconductor devises. Semiconductor diodes. Semiconductor stabilitrons. Tunnel
diodes. Bipolar transistors: characteristics; parameters of transistor as a quadripole; frequency properties of
transistors; dynamic and switch mode of transistor operation. Field-effect transistors: junction-gate field-effect
transistors; MOS-transistors. Thyristors. Optoelectronic devices. Fundamentals of microelectronics: types of
integrated circuits; main principles of construction of bipolar and MOS - integrated circuits.
Teaching and assessment:
The lectures give the students the opportunity to familiarize themselves theoretically with the main questions of the
material. Each Iecture is presented using visual materials -slides. The laboratory exercises have a duration of 4
hours every other week and the whole group does the same exercise. Before starting the laboratory exercises the
students` preparation on the theoretical material and methodology of making the measurements is checked. The
students prepare a report for each laboratory exercise which is checked by the lecturer. The results from the
laboratory work are taken into consideration for determining the final mark at the exam. The exam is written with 2
questions from the course syllabus which is followed by an oral discussion.

Abstract:
The foreign language module 2 is also aimed at achieving communicative competence in the area of the subject
specialism and the future job. The teaching objectives comprise the development of reading comprehension skills
to handle specialist texts and the acquisition of communication skills to interact successfully in professional
settings and everyday situations.
Course content:
Higher education. Reading strategies. Note taking. Structure and organisation of a scientific text. Describing a
process. Components and specifications. Describing graphs. Writing a CV. Announcements and messages
(formal and informal). Enquiries, letters of complaint and orders. The grammar material is connected with the
lexical topics and situations.
Teaching and assessment:
To acquire the necessary language proficiency and to develop skills in using the language as a means of
communication a wide range of authentic and specially constructed texts ( i. e. articles, diagrams and tables,
brochures, catalogues, manuals etc.) as well as audio , video, and multimedia materials are used. Students are
offered lessons in computer laboratories, in which multimedia learning packages and on-line materials on the
Internet are used according to the modern trends in foreign language teaching. In class students participate in
role-plays, pair and group activities and they are encouraged to work on their own on their translation assignment.
Continuous assessment involves at least two written tests and oral testing as well.
