Semiconductor Devices

Catalog description

An introduction to semiconductor device physics and basic electronic properties of semiconductors, including junctions, heterojunction, and fundamental device building blocks. Current and proposed semiconductor devices: field effect transistors, bipolar transistors, quantum-effect devices, and optoelectronic devices. A brief fabrication lab will introduce junction fabrication in the cleanroom. Advanced topics, such as heterojunction bipolar transistors and silicon-on-insulator FETs, are included in the graduate version.
