Solid State Materials for Electronics, Photonics and Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems

Catalog description

Essential physical parameters of solids: elastic and thin-film properties (i.e. MEMS devices); electromechanical, piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties; paramagnetism and ferromagnetism; electron transport properties (metals and semiconductors); electronic bandgap and bandgap engineering; and the essential role of crystallinity in enhancing desired parameters (i.e. dielectric function in ferroelectrics or electron mobility in semiconductors). Prerequisite(s): Undergraduate level PHY 2410 Minimum Grade of D and Undergraduate level PHY 2410L Minimum Grade of D and Undergraduate level MTH 2310 Minimum Grade of D
