Hi, I was wondering, if you want to focus on physical electronics within Electrical Enginering, what kind of job you are looking at in the U.S? I mean, what do physical electronics people generally do?

anyone...?

Many work in the semiconductor industry and improve fabrication processes or ensure theat fab quality is up to spec.

 

[Swapnil]

Is that the only thing - semiconductors? That seem to be a popular answer. Isn't there anything else?

Well, no matter what you do, if you work in the field of physical electronics, you'll be working with semiconductors.

yeah, physical electronics is all semiconductor/solid state physics.
