PHY 305 - Physics of Semiconductors

Units: 4
When Offered: As offered
An introduction to the underlying mechanism and the physical operation of semiconductor devices. This includes discussion of material properties, energy band theory, carrier behavior, and electronic transport. We’ll apply this to understanding of junction diodes, bipolar junction transistors, and metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitors and field-effect transistors.
