This class offers a thorough introduction to the physical properties of semiconductors and semiconductor devices. It covers a review of the fundamental material science concepts, solid state physics, the properties of semiconductors, including energy bands, carrier concentrations, and conduction in more detail. Then the class will introduce the principles of operations of the semiconductor devices, such as diodes, junction field effect transistors, and solar cells.
This
class builds a solid physical concepts required for the understanding of
semiconductor devices. Students will obtain a good foundation for higher level electronics
and circuits related courses.
The
structure of the class includes, weekly three one-hour lectures, weekly
homeworks, midterms and one final. There
is no lab element for this class.
Prerequisite: EE 215.
