CPE 3500Semiconductor Dev Fundamentals

Catalog

Prerequisite(s): CPE 2145, CPE 2165, MTH 3210 (with a grade of "C" or better for all prerequisites) Students develop an understanding of semiconductor physics, materials, devices and fabrication technology. The students learn semiconductor band theory, semiconductor materials and statistics, heterojunction, Schottky junctions, and MOSFETs. The course focuses on the MOSFET designs for advanced Very Large Scale Integrated Circuit (VLSI) technology from its physical structure, accurate modeling, manufacturability and applications by using computer simulation.
