ECEN 602 - Fundamentals of Semiconductor Physics


When Offered: F

3 Credit(s)
This course will introduce the basics of semiconductor materials physics. The physics of semiconductor in thermal equilibrium and transport phenomena of the charge carrier in a semiconductor will be described. The nonequilibrium excess carrier characteristics, an important component of understanding the device physics, are then developed. Electrostatics of the basic pn junction will also be covered in detail.

Prerequisite(s): None.
