Description This is a first course in semiconductor physics, devices and circuits. It is intended for undergraduate juniors to satisfy the ECE 440 requirement. The primary objective is to develop the foundation in semiconductor physics required to analyze the operation of semiconductor devices such as p-n junctions, metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitors, and field effect transistors. These concepts are then applied to the design of amplifiers and elementary integrated circuits.
Notes This course will give you credit for ECE 440.
Credit 3 hours
Course Prerequisites ECE 210 and PHYS 214 (co-registration in ECE 329 is suggested).
