Course Description
The objective of the course is to provide
clear explanations of the operation of all important electronic
devices generally available today, and to show each device
is used in appropriate circuits. The course is an introduction
to semiconductor fundamentals and applications to the electronic
devices. Course creates the background in the physics of
the compound semiconductor-based electronic devices and
also prepare students to advanced courses in solid state
and quantum electronics. The course provides an opportunity
for students to continue education in undertaking advanced
study and research in the variety of different branches
of semiconductor device applications. Topics include the
background solid state and semiconductor physics, and basic
principles of electronic devices operation.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
When a student completes this course, s/he should be able
to:
1. Understand the basic physics of semiconductor
electronic devices. The importance of electrons and holes
in semiconductors, the charge density and distribution,
the charge transport mechanisms.
2. Understand the physics of a p-n junction.
3. Understand the internal workings of
the most basic solid state electronic devices.
