ECEN-25000 Semiconductor Devices

This course covers the material properties of semiconductors, the physics of semiconductor operation and the operating principles of diodes, bipolar and field-effect transistors. Circuit analysis techniques are applied and industry-standard tools and applications are used to model and understand the characteristics, operation, performance and limitations of fundamental electronic devices. Topics include semiconductor energy bands, formation of n and p-type carriers, p-n junctions, I-V characteristics, BJT and FET operating modes and switching effects.
