Course description and aims

[Summary of Lecture] This course focuses on the chemical process using plasma technology. The basic knowledge and characteristics of plasma, plasma generation methods and applications of plasma technology to the chemical processes are lectured. [Aim of Lecture] This lecture aims for students to understand the basic knowledge of the plasma chemistry and plasma processing and to acquire the ability to design and optimize the chemical processes using plasma technology.

Student learning outcomes

[Target] Target of this course is to understand and obtain the basic knowledge and characteristics of thermal & non-thermal plasma, thermal & non-thermal plasma generation methods and applications of plasma technology to the chemical processes and to acquire the ability to design and optimize the chemical processes using plasma technology.

Keywords

plasma, gas discharge, etching, chemical vapor deposition, sputtering, surface modification

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

At the beginning of each class, solutions to exercise problems that were assigned during the previous class are reviewed. Then the main points of the day’s lecture are given as exercise. At the end of class, students are asked to solve the exercise.

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
