3.00 Credits
Semiconductor device physics emphasized rather than circuits; detailed analysis of the p-n junction, traps, surface states and conduction processes, and devices; analysis and models of Schottky diodes, MIS diodes, MOSFETs, charge coupled devices and solar cells; charge control concepts, transit time effects, surface-type devices and practical aspects of device processing. Students are expected to have completed courses comparable to ECE 4040 and ECE 4060 before enrolling in this course.
