Introduction to Physics of Semiconductor Devices

X32 (1 semester unit in EECS)

An elective in the Certificate Program in Integrated Circuit Design and Techniques

The instructor takes semiconductor industry terms such as energy bandgaps and minority carriers, and transforms them into powerful concepts to reveal the mysterious behavior of semiconductor devices. Topics include intrinsic and extrinsic semiconductors, carrier transport, PN junction, and metal-semiconductor contact. An individual research project covers controversial subjects: the ultimate limits of integrated electronics and an integrated strategy for confronting commoditization in the foundry industry. You can apply those concepts to many applications, including CMOS, BJT, LED, lasers, and sensors.
