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. This implies that the student should:
- be familiar with fundamental physical principles which govern performance of semiconductor devices
- be able to use basic equations describing device performance
- understand and be able to explain in a well structured and logical concise way characteristics, operation and limitations of semiconductor devices
- understand and be able to explain main technological approaches for device fabrication
- develop basic tools with which they can later apply for learning newly developed devices and applications
