[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.
[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.
plasma, gas discharge, etching, chemical vapor deposition, sputtering, surface modification
✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | ✔ Critical thinking skills | Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
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.
