Description
Review of semiconductor physics and analysis methods for electronic devices. Study of junctions: band alignment, pn junction, meta-semiconductor junction, metal-oxyde-semiconductor junctions and heterojunctions. Static and dynamic behaviour of devices: diodes, field-effect transistors and bipolar junction transistors. Overview of optoelectronic components: photodetectors, solar cells, light-emitting diodes and laser diodes. Discussion of more advanced heterostructures, scaling laws and microfabrication. Electrical measurements of discrete and integrated components, use of CAD tools to model semiconductor devices.
