| Aim: The aim of this course is to make the student aware of the fundamental physical principles of semiconductor devices, and how modeling of devices is done. The participants of the course obtain the basic understanding, which is required for working with integrated circuits and optoelectronics. |
|||
| Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) TFFY17 Modern Physics(Y), TFFY13 alt TFYY76 Modern Physics(D) Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding. |
|||
| Organisation: 30 h lectures, 10 h seminars and 12 h laboratory exercises. |
|||
| Course contents: Basic semiconductor physics. Operation and modeling of pn-junctions, optoelectronic devices, bipolar transistors, field-effect transistors, and integrated circuits. An overview of processing of semiconductor devices and integrated circuits is given. Introduction into modern semiconductor technologies, such as nanotechnology and spin electronics. |
