| Course Objectives | This course is designed to provide an introduction to the microscopic mechanisms underlying device operation. A general overview will be presented, discussing energy band theory, material doping, carrier behavior, and transport phenomena. These concepts will then be applied to explain the operation of the most fundamental devices, such as pn junction diodes, bipolar junction transistors, and metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors. This course will prepare students for more advanced studies, provide fluency in semiconductor device terminology, develop students' circuit design capabilities, and enable them to understand new semiconductor devices. |
