Principles of Semiconductor Devices - EEN 416
Fundamentals of the
physical properties of semiconductors.
Doping. Fermi-Dirac statistics. Generation-recombination properties of excess carriers
in semiconductors. Optical absorption and
luminescence. Carrier drift and diffusion.
Properties of the p-n junction under forward and
reverse bias. Characteristics of semiconductor
devices, and advanced device issues relevant to
state-of-the-art integrated-circuit technologies.
