Syllabus

Objective of this course is understanding of the physical principles involved in the operation of semiconductor devices, such as junction diodes, bipolar transistors (including heterojunction variety), field effect transistors, semiconductor lasers and photodetectors. Factors limiting the performance of each type of device will be discussed, along with their optimization trends and the on-going search for novel device structures. Current trends and the future progress of microelectronics will be considered at the end of the course.
