This course is the key fundamental course for undergraduates majored Microelectronics, and to teach  the  fundamentals of semiconductor physics and devices.

   This course covers two parts: physics of semiconductor and fundamentals of  semiconductor devices.Fundamentals of semiconductor materials, carrier model and transportation are addressed in the 1st part. And the pn-junction diode, the bipolar junction transistor, the metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitor, and  field-effect transistor are covered in 2nd part.  Besides that, modern MOSFET scaling down trend and other semiconductor device (e.g., solar cell, TFT , etc.) are introduced also.

 

   Understand the operation principles of main semicondictor devices

   Know how the electrical characteristics of semiconductor devices depend on their physical parameters and operating conditions.
