Electronic Materials Devices

• ABOUT THE COURSE

Fundamental aspects of electronic materials such as: the materials physics which explains how insulating, semiconducting and metallic properties arise in solids; the basis of how semiconductors can be engineered to exhibit controlled properties (both electrical and optical), and why these are essential for the manufacture of semiconductor devices; and the fundamental building blocks for semiconductor devices and give basic understanding of how terminal characteristics are connected to the basic semiconductor structures.

• SYLLABUS

Course Meeting Times: Lectures: 2 sessions / week, 1.5 hours / session

Assignments: There are two exams during class hours, and two exams (midterm- and final- exam). There will be problem sets due most weeks except for exam weeks.
