ECSE-696 – Semiconductor Devices and Models I

 

Subject Description

The physics, modeling, and characterization of semiconductor, including p-n junction diodes, Schottky barrier diodes,

ohmic contacts, Gunn diodes, metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitors, metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors,

Thin Film Transistors, and Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Displays. Emphasis is placed on the fundamental mechanisms

that contribute to device performance. The interrelationship between device parameters and circuit performance is stressed.
