Abstract: To strengthen the cultivation of graduate students in the field of integrated circuits and address the deep theoretical demands of device physics for advanced process nodes, this paper focuses on resolving the current issues in the “Advanced Semiconductor Device Physics” course, such as “dispersed content lacking logical structure, teaching materials failing to touch on industrial frontiers, traditional teaching modes lacking practical orientation, and evaluation systems struggling to assess implementation effectiveness.”  It explores teaching reform practices based on the AF (Advanced Frontiers) concept, summarizing practical cases in reconstructing the syllabus, deepening curriculum ideology, building knowledge graphs, introducing cutting-edge technologies, and recursively refining teaching modalities. These efforts have effectively enhanced teaching outcomes, providing a new reference paradigm for the cultivation of graduate students specializing in semiconductor device physics in integrated circuits under the new circumstances.
