E&M Fields for Microelectronics

Catalog description

An introduction to the fundamentals of electrostatic, magneto-static and time varying fields that culminate with the Maxwell's equations, continuity and Lorentz force that govern the EM phenomena. Importance of Laplace's and Poisson's equations in semiconductor applications is described. Electromagnetic properties of material media are discussed with emphasis on boundary conditions. Plane wave solution of Maxwell's equations is derived and discussed in loss-less and lossy media. Applications in optics include reflection/refraction and polarization of light. A strong knowledge of vector calculus is desired.
